[h2]Hey all![/h2]

We hope you’re enjoying exploring the world of Gord. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts on the game, we really appreciate your feedback and it’s been incredibly useful.

We wanted to update you on our plan moving forwards, which is to look through all the hot topics and implement fixes to important systems as soon as we can. We’re also going to include a permanent demo so that everyone can play before purchase.

[h2]Future Patch Plan For 2023[/h2]

• v1.2.1 - Addressing most urgent technical issues, balancing problems related to gold consumption, experience gain (overall game difficulty), structure limits, and resource regeneration.
  
• v1.3 - Almost 300 smaller scale bugs scheduled to be resolved, easier item exchanges, as well as adding extensive (but optional!) automations significantly reducing required micromanagement. UI improvements will include edits to the subject's information panel and mini-map filtering.
  
• v1.4 - Further improvements to the inventory system, lower priority bugs, and further balancing adjustments.
  

With work, and your continued support, we want to make Gord a better experience. We plan to improve the title over the coming months and ask for your patience while we work hard to bring these fixes to the game.

Sincerely,
Covenant & Team17
