Update on Release Progress

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to provide you with an update on the progress we're making getting our game release-ready because we know we've been radio silent for a few months now.

We're hard at work getting the game ready for release, but we've hit a few bumps along the road. Most of our team finished college recently, and we've had to make the transition from working in a shared space to working remotely. Frankly, that transition has taken a large toll on our team and has slowed our progress in improving the game.

We're currently revising our tutorial system and player onboarding fairly extensively. We want to make sure every player who tries our game gets the best out of our flight systems and exhibiting at E3 showed us some pain points in that learning process for new players. As a result, we're rebuilding much of our tutorial system from scratch because while we were present to help players at E3, once we go live on Steam - unfortunately we don't come with the download to help you out.

That said, we are also looking to release some short stories for our characters in the very near future, so look out for those!

Long story short, we're pushing our release back to "Sometime in 2019." We're not exactly sure how long these changes will take but we're determined to make sure that when you step into our game for the first time you have the best experience possible, and we're hard at work to make that reality.

Mark, Creative Director
