Hello everyone,

We're still hard at work creating the next Mega Patch, which aims to be the most significant one yet, as it adds narrative elements, significantly amps up the worldbuilding of the game and updates almost every single level.

While this is currently in the works, we've been working on a number of fixes that we wanted to patch early. This patch is not as significant as the ones we did in the past, but it’s still a good step towards making Selaco a more stable, better game. After all, why would we delay bug fixes!?

Going in!

A few more changes are made, but unfortunately went undocumented. Sorry about that :(

Public Beta Build

I mention this often, but I think this is important and worth bringing up from time to time.

We aim to be highly transparent during the Early Access phase of the game. As such, we've added a Public Beta Branch that will always be available for use. Here, we apply updates on a weekly basis, often containing more experimental changes to the game. If you enjoy feeling more involved with the development process, feel free to join us here and give it a try!

Just be wary that there will be bugs. If VAC-Bots start multiplying and slowly start ruling over the humans, then you're having the authentic Public Beta Experience. No, this will not be canon!

Conclusion

Happy to report that everything regarding development continues to go well and there are no major obstacles to bring up. There's a lot in motion, and I'm very excited to share more with you in due time. Chapter 2 is, of course, still far away, but there's a lot to show already. Perhaps the next blog post can show some of the things we've been working on.

For the time being, here is an Anti-Armor Rocket Launcher!

Thank you for supporting our game and genuinely making Selaco even more fun to work on!
