Early Access Update #1 now live!
We’re excited to finally announce our first update to Early Access!

Since we went live on May 4th, we’ve been taking in hundreds of suggestions, support requests and wishlists - and have added many of them to our own roadmap. This forum is just a drop compared to the long emailed lists of detailed requests coming through our support link, but we appreciate every bit. We've been online quite a lot! The organic process of taking in your feedback and treating it seriously is really important to us.

There have been a few background account and text related fixes along the way that you might have noticed in your Steam Library, but didn't necessarily notice in-game.

Our development roadmap is a constantly evolving beast, but with this first round of suggested features, bugfixes and updates we’re one step closer to landing the exciting single-player campaign and extra content features. We have tried our best to prioritise what you want - where we can achieve it - and there’s plenty more to come!

TLDR - watch this
