1.0 Is MASSIVE, Here are some sneak peeks of what to look forward too!

Totally Redone Art

Totally Redone Multiplayer

If you have played the multiplayer in the current version you can tell its a bit clunky. You have to do things like port forwarding and direct IP connection. Gone are the days of that as you will be able to have a much more streamlined experience using direct steam connections

40+ New Achievements

Tons of new Items and buildings

Improved Survivor Logic

Improved Tutorial

Simplified UI

Tons of Bug fixes

Bigger Maps

Improved Control Mode

Other fun secrets to discover
