August update + release date

Hey everyone!

It's update time & I've got some good news!

I've chosen September 6th as the Early Access release date! So a roughly 3 weeks from now.
I've settled on $12USD as the price however the first week will include a 20% discount.

Which means for the first week the price will be $9.60usd. After that first week the discount will end & the price will rise back up to $12.

I've also uploaded a new trailer which you can check out here:

So what's been going on in the 6 weeks since the last update?

Mostly I've just been fixing bugs & taking in feedback from the small selection of beta testers.

However there have been a couple major changes.
First, I've overhauled the tech tree which you may have seen briefly in the new trailer, or check out this screenshot here:



Another fairly major addition is that at any time in-game now, you can press M on your keyboard to take control of your manager.
Using the WASD keys you can move your manager around & manually complete a variety of tasks such as repairing equipment, watering plants, emptying bins, restocking vending machines etc..
This aspect of the game is entirely optional and up to the player and you can eventually research the ability to have your manager automatically complete these tasks.

Other than that, it's just been bug fixing & balance tuning.

Thanks to all the people following along with development, especially those who have been waiting over 2 years. :)

Also big thanks to my beta testers for all the bugs found so far!

Lastly, don't forget to add to wishlist if you haven't already to you get an email notification on release.
