We (Tim and Jason) just wanted to say thank you to everyone that's been testing, joined our discord, or reached out through youtube or reddit as well as other mediums. I've personally found this experience gratifying to see this passion project grow into the comically engaging and overall fun sandboxy experience we have the pleasure to be bringing to you very shortly. I'd like to discuss the path forward and clarify the roadmap. A summary of what's included and what can be expected for the future!

1) The current state of the Free to play core is "Early Access"
2) The F2P core gameplay will receive minor and major updates until the end of 2021
3) The F2P core updates will include everything from additional mini games and new gamemodes, AI tweaks, bug fixes, content additions, weapon tweaks, mini game completion etc.

We hope you all see the potential and the value we are diligently attempting to bring to our playerbase.

* (F2P) Zombie-Mode is in heavy daily development and should be release within the next 2 months
* (F2P) Apoc-Mode will continue heavy development until the end of 2021.
* (F2P) Missions will continue heavy development until the end of 2021.

*NOTICE* The current state of the F2P core may present with edge cases and minor bugs but we wanted to start growing the community and gaining priority from the VR playerbase sooner rather than later in this process.


Into the future:

1) DLC content is planned and currently in early stages of development and testing.
2) The following gamemodes are planned to be part of this release.
- Deathmatch
- Team Deathmatch
- Heist
- Tower Defense

3) Dedicated servers and Battle Royale (currently about 35% into development) will continue development in addition to the above milestones.

********PLEASE NOTE*******
We are a very small developer team but as our work ethic has shown this will not detour us from delivering an above all else "FUN" experience! As development progresses please consider that things are subject to change and milestones may be moved around. Our inspiration and motivation comes from you! So again … Thank you!

We also owe a great deal of gratitude to Mordentral and the group of developers within the UE4 VRE community. Awesome group of people who have supported us along this journey!
