The Road to Steam Next Fest (Working on 2.7.1)

I never sleep for long! While you are out there testing the new combat in the 2.7.0 build (which is available right now on my Itch.io and for my Patreon supporters), my focus has already shifted.

Development on update 2.7.1 has officially started. My ultimate goal is to polish all these features into a massive 2.7.2 version, just in time for the Steam Next Fest in October.

As a solo developer, your support means the world to me. If you want to help shape the game, consider joining my "Inner Circle" on Patreon.

And most importantly: Please hit that Wishlist button! Every single Wishlist helps me fight the Steam algorithm and brings this project closer to reality.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Skål! 🍻
