Website and Roadmap

We have just rebuilt our website to be much cleaner, with tabs linking to our steam forums and store page, there are also links to our discord as well. The 2 best ways to communicate with us is through Steam and Discord, https://discord.gg/z5S5Gac

Many people have asked about a road map, and even though we have most of our ideas all in order, its hard to find time to create a public road map, but we have started to build one, and will improve on it over the length of the project. This is a live road map and can change , and will change several times through EA as we work with the community on features.
