You're probably already eagerly awaiting the next update, and well, we don't want to keep you waiting any longer.
The next update will be released on Steam on Monday at the latest. We are very excited about your feedback.

Next week we will work on other small updates that will fix bugs and other problems.
In addition, the multiplayer will be addressed so that it is also fully playable in a timely manner.

Furthermore we receive many requests if there is still the possibility to get a key to play the game.
Unfortunately, this will only be possible again in Early Access on Steam. But it's not that long until the release.
We want to increase the rush for the release and therefore there won't be another possibility to get a key before the release.

However, we have another good news for you: We will be opening up one or two playtests on Steam before the release.
When this will be and for how long, we don't want to reveal yet. Let us surprise you, but always keep an eye on the weekends.

That should be it for now. We wish you a nice weekend and stay healthy.
