We want to thank everyone who has been with us during Early Access, for every single feedback, discussion on Steam, and message on Discord. We read everything, and many of these comments have had a real impact on the game's development. It's thanks to you that Junkyard Builder is where it is today.

Leaving Early Access for the full version doesn't mean we're done with it. On the contrary, we treat it as the next step. We still have a lot of ideas and plan to further develop the game in future updates.
