Hey all, Adriano here.

Wanted to inform everybody that we will swap developer branch with the public today in 9 PM GMT+1

If you want to keep playing the old version be sure to make a backup of your saves as the current public branch will go to legacy.

The current state of the game is far more stable than the public branch and we think it's time to push that one further.

As we swap branches we will release the game out of Early Acces.

It will probably confuse a lot of people, but we are a small team, and this is one big step for us and the end of the EA chapter.

Current architecture gives us options to work a lot faster and add up way more stable updates.

The game will STILL be updated each 2 weeks with content updates.

We learned a lot. Became developers of our passion for games and we want to push our skills even more in the future and make an even cooler project.


Thank you for all buying the game and giving us support and the option to return this to the community.

We have a lot of new cool things we are planning to stay tuned and be sure to follow us on socials and our discord server :)

Best regards

Hey everybody!

I wanted to share some info about the game and how it's coming along.

To ones who are not informed about the situation before.

The game was completely rewritten from scratch. Learning from all our mistakes and feedback we got from you.
We came close to the stage where the game was earlier so we decided to swap it out as it's way more stable and bugless.

In talking with the team we came to the conclusion, we will update the game every 2 weeks for new content and regularly about bugfix.

It's better to start early with tests to eliminate all eventual problems.

Some of the new systems in-game were added up by feedback we got from previous versions.

One of the most requested modes was a third-person camera along with a female character.

This version of the game will have fewer stations to build, but on our new base, stations will come up soon in the next updates.

NOTE
PUBLIC BRANCH WILL BE SWAPPED TO OLDVERSION BRANCH

ENSURE YOU SAVE YOUR GAME IF U WANT TO KEEP PLAYING ON OLD VERSION

CURRENT DEVELOPER BRANCH WILL BE SWAPPED WITH PUBLIC

Let us know your feedback about the game so we can further improve it.

Hey guys! It's been a while since you last heard from us. For that we are sorry.
Most players are probably wondering what the game dev team was up to and it's finally time to tell you.
Sadly, due to several issues that were happening in the world, one of our team members left.
Yes, for a small team this hit us pretty hard, but we didn't come this far just to quit easily.

We always go through and try our best to listen and act upon all the reviews, comments and feedback that you guys post.
Most of you'll have had issues with MP or loading system to a large extent.
We had to make a good move.

So, after much brainstorming on what to do next, we decided to scrap our entire older code base and start over.
Yes, we agree, it was a crazy move.
However, it was deemed as a necessity in order to move forward.
We learned a lot from our past mistakes and this as was a way to correct everything and give players a more stable final product.

Why is this being published so late?
I didn't want to hype players, or promise something that we won't be able to deliver.
So I was waiting until we had a good and stable base with a functional loading system ready.


Finally, we would like to thank you all for the never ending feedback and support you guys have shown towards us.
It is something indescribable and we feel like doing this is the best way to return that to the community

Best regards
