changed1.0 ReleaseThe game was released into Early Access almost a full year ago now (wow!) and I'm so appreciative of all the amazing feedback, support, and bug reports over this time. The list of content/feature requests is incredibly long now and I want everyone to know that I read every one. My goal is to find a good balance of what to include that improves the gameplay and experience the most while not pushing the 1.0 launch back too much.
added1.0 ReleaseBut know that even after 1.0 release, I plan on continuing to work on the game and keep free updates coming many years into the future. There are so many cool things that can be added to the game to make it one of the most interesting realistic-focused survival games out there.

Q3 Update

The Q3 update will be a bit smaller than originally planned unfortunately. Aiming to still get skills/proficiencies out, but NPC survivors and glass blowing need a bit more time to get right as its a lot larger of a feature than I was originally planning. The original plan was possibly a bit too ambitious, apologies for that.

Expect a smaller Q3 update with skills and a few other enhancements by the end of September.

Q4 Update

Pushing NPC survivors and glass blowing to this update. Working and trading with NPCs will be critical to the game's story and the eventual curing of the Blight.

1.0 Release

Not planned out in detail yet, but I'd like to get the 1.0 release out once all of the requisite features are in place (most features released this year as well as NPCs). I imagine this will for sure be in 2026, and ideally in the first half of the year.
