Salutations Industrialists,
We're excited to share the progress we've made over the last month and update you on our Alpha Roadmap.
As mentioned previously, in March we were focused on addressing and resolving a few issues with the in game economy. We're making good progress refining several of the important features of Gilded Destiny, in preparation for the release of the Alpha version of the game to our Kickstarter and Modian backers. Importantly, our dev teams are devoting much of their focus on resolving a few issues with the in-game economy and population. The main problems we have been facing are maintaining the integrity of how the pops consume, produce, and trade in-game, which ties into the economy. Once these systems are working properly, and once we've thoroughly tested them, we are planning to release the Alpha to our backers.
Without further ado, let's take a look at what we accomplished in March and what is planned for April. This is also a special roadmap, as it marks the twelfth update! So, we would like to share a list of major accomplishments in the last year as well!
