Hello Everyone!Just wanted to do a quick Steam update, as I know the timing on this update has been odd and hasn't lined up with the teaser I dropped last month. (experimental was not meant to last this long)To crack straight into it: the main reason the update hasn't been released yet is due to a LOT of iterations on the gameplay goals for the Abyss, ensuring a fun, consistent, and engaging experience from the very start of the region to the end.This includes a lot of balance changes & adjustments to research and quests; my goal is to ensure new mechanics are introduced at a steady rate, and

Hello everyone!I was confident in the March 15th release date, but a number of bugs related to multiplayer have popped up this past week during testing, mainly around some of the new gameplay systems. This needs to be sorted out before I'm comfortable releasing this update.In case you missed the teaser: yes, this update is BIG. It's very content-driven, with tons of new enemies, buildings, and mechanics, on TOP of long-requested features like copy/paste.While it is complete, I don't want to ship it with known issues that will hinder your enjoyment when playing with friends. So I'm pushing the

Hello Everyone!With v0.3 now out on live, this establishes a proper baseline for us to build off of as we head towards the full release of the game later this year. With all of the technical debt paid off, my goal starting from now until v1.0 is to deliver frequent content updates on a regular basis. This will include some new features, but will mainly be adding to the new gameplay features introduced in v0.3 (quests, engineering, upgrades, research, regions, etc.)I have laid out a roadmap of what will be coming over the course of early access, leading up to v1.0!Road to v1.003/29 Update: Due
