Moved ;) Yes, we wanted to feel like the big development studios and delay our release for a while. But for us it's only 1 month.

The new update v0.9.5 is here and it has a lot of feedback from the last few months and also from Gamescom. First, I'd like to briefly outline the new features and then talk about the coming months. You had to wait a long time. I have to admit, I personally found the updates every 1-3 months in the last few years a bit more relaxed, because every player wants to see the changes/improvements. If it all comes months later, then you might as well put the game aside for a year o
