Current Progress
I know it sucks that we couldn't upload milestone 1 and didn't inform you about it. Milestone 1 has such a long delay because we had to rewrite the pathfinder, so dwarfs can jump. This then led to crashes. We fixed the crashes. But currently we have also issues with loss of fps overtime. Which has something to do with the new stuff in milestone 1. We had to make those fixes and changes while working on milestone 2. Which sucks. We have to adhere to the deadlines we made. Everything has to work at the end of August 2021. Which sucks for regular updates on steam. Normally we could add content, test it and then fix it for a longer time. Currently, we are focusing on finishing content for milestone 2. This should be finished at the end of February, but we can’t promise it will be fully playable. In how we planned the milestones we will fix everything in the last 3 months (June-August). Which again sucks for regular updates. We wish the development and contact with the community would be smoother. But it is not possible with only being two people and having to stay in our planned deadlines.
Milestone 1 delay
Sadly we couldn't finish everything for Milestone 1 till today. We made a lot of progress with content. But we didn't realize how long it would take to add the content to the game. The Delay should be maximum 2 weeks long. We knew Milestone 1 is the most work, so we hope other Milestones will not suffer any delay. Jannik is going to keep working on milestone 1 and Nikolai is going to hop between Milestone 1 & 2.
Thank you for understanding
in endless love
your Direfang team of two

Patch 2020.04.14.01 notes
Patch 2020.04.14.01
- Finally fixed the crash.
We think there is also a second crash out there which has something to do with another bug when you can't click buildings anymore. When you can't click buildings and then the game saves it crashes.
If anybody can tell us how we can reproduce the clicking bug that would be awesome!
