I could talk about farming in DYSMANTLE.... but let's instead quickly address the infected zombie elephant in the room. As some of you have very politely pointed out, our announcement trailer does sort of (vaguely) mention the number 2019.

The year 2019 is coming to an end, and DYSMANTLE is still not out. And, no, unfortunately it won't come out later today either. We are more sorry than you probably know.
DYSMANTLE is a huge game for our small team, and we want to make sure we get this one right. So it will take some more time. It's going to come out in 2020, not 2019.
And to be clear, it's not that we need some more time polishing it, we need more time adding more content and mechanics. Lots of stuff is still missing. Why? Some might call it feature creep, but the simple truth is that after seeing the initial reaction for the DYSMANTLE announcement, we decided to make a game to match those high expectations we had set. The game that could have shipped in 2019 wouldn't have matched those expectations.
So TL;DR: we're sorry, DYSMANTLE development is going to take some more time, but it's going to be great.
2019 has been an awesome year, but here's to hoping 2020 will be even better.
