Hello everyone,

First of all, we know that you are all eagerly awaiting the first major update after Early Access, especially those of you who are used to our regular updates. That's why we wanted to let you know that we've been working hard on this major update since Early Access to fix the multiplayer, vehicle and voxel issues.

However, in order to be able to bring you a stable update, it still needs one or two fixes and fine-tuning, so we will inform you as soon as we can say for sure that the update is ready. Until then, we would like to ask you for a little patience, even if it is difficult.

Only 2 more days, then the time has finally come. We have been waiting for this day for a long time:
On Friday, 13 May 2022 at 6 pm UTC, the game will be released on Steam in Early Access.

The next few days will be a challenge for us as well - all corners are still working hard on bugfixing for single and multiplayer for the release of version 0.6.
Because even though the game is still in development, we still want to give you a pleasant gaming experience.

On Friday, as almost every day, there will also be a livestream on Twitch and, as usual, it will start in the morning and run until around 2pm UTC. After that, we will be making the final internal preparations for the release.

Since this is a special day, we want to share that with you as well: There will be a live broadcast on the platform "Steam". This live broadcast is scheduled to start at 4pm UTC and can be viewed on the Gold Hunter shop page. We will be answering questions, doing giveaways and much more.

At 6 pm UTC we will release the game in Early Access as version 0.6 together with you and then accompany you through the evening. There will also be gameplay to watch.

We hope that you are looking forward to this day as much as we are and that you will spend the evening with us.
