Hello Adventurers!
Greetings from the team! We’d like to thank you once more for your support. We reached over 15 000 Wishlist entries for the Early Access, still rising. There are over 100 discussions in the Forum going on, a
wiki is getting started, a
subreddit has been created and we have great activity on the
Discord Server.
Also a huge thanks to all content creators and streamers for sharing their joy about the game. We are reading and watching through as much feedback and impressions as we can.
Development is moving forward quickly and it’s time for another patch!
