Structures, Production, & Resource Management
Sprint 8 is in the books, adding a lot of huge functionality for buildings and resources, along with continuing improvement to the HUD and UI. In Sprint 9 we look forward to the Officer (i.e. upgrades) feature, returning to the on-rails gameplay in campaign, and hopefully some cool new art as well.
We still aren’t quite stable enough for re-release, but there is quite a bit of groundwork that is finally coming together, along with some interesting new additions planned.
Achieveing stability and releasing an update for the demo is still a priority, but we’d rather not take any shortcuts with plenty of work still to be done.
Any early access supporters on Steam can be assured we are still investing into the quality of the final product.
