Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is still enjoying the game!

Today I want to share the updated roadmap.

The roadmap provides a global outline of what you can expect of the remaining early access period.
Spoilers: a bucket load of polish and more content. Currently I am still working with an animator to improve the combat and ranged animations, I hope to share something from that soon and get the ball rolling again on the bigger updates.

If you feel like I am still missing essential things, feel free to let me know in the comments! I take every bit of feedback in consideration.


Thanks for all the support and stay tuned for more updates!
