Here's what we're prioritizing:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Having two different versions of the game running creates confusion when sorting through feedback and bug reports. By focusing on one version, we can be much more efficient in addressing issues and implementing improvements.[/p][p][/p][h2]Early Access Launch - September 16th[/h2][p]We're getting close, and we still need your support to make this launch amazing![/p][p][/p][h3]For Our Alpha Testers[/h3][p]We're still actively testing the game and need your help finding issues and bugs.
