After 5 months in Early Access, we can now officially confirm, that the release date for 1.0 has been set to Monday 13th May!

We won't even try to list all the additions and changes introduced during EA, but surely, we would not be able to get where we are without the support of our Kickstarter backers and Early Access players, who tirelessly reported each bug and suggested ways to improve.

The 1.0 release is not the end of the development process and we plan to support the game with new, free content, tweaks and improvements.

If you haven't already, add Thea 2 to your wishlist to make sure you won't miss the date!
