[p][/p][p][/p][h3]Game State & Expectations[/h3][p][/p][p]As with most Early Access titles, players should expect to encounter bugs and possible performance issues. The community is what drives the future of Early Access titles. Please join the Discord and report specific bugs and issues there!

We hope you enjoy the game. It's been a labor of love for a solo dev for many years. The roadmap is ambitious. And we're extremely excited to have the player community join us on this journey to 1.0 and beyond![/p][p][/p][p]Join the Discord
