As pleased as we are with the current progression on the roadmap, we’re incredibly excited about what’s on the horizon! We’re aiming to release an alpha version of the Roguelite Campaign 2.0 to our Beta Testers in early 2025. While this will still be a significant work-in-progress, we’ll make sure to incorporate all your feedback as we refine it further. We know we’ve been teasing it for a while, but soon we’ll finally be able to share it with our beloved testers!

[h2]UI Rework[/h2]
As we continue developing the 2.0 version of the campaign, the UI overhaul was a much-needed update. Being able to see your power-ups on each players during a game was a highly requested feature. It was designed with your feedback in mind, and we still need your input! Let us know what you think about it!
