Hi everyone! We have opened up the playtest again and are changing the way we run it. Instead of a fixed weekend test we are just going to keep the playtest open. As a small team we find it hard to get the word out about our games and having a playable version of the game on Steam (even if it is a beta) really helps. The plan is still to hold back updates until there is some significant change,…

Switch when? Probably never. Our entire focus is on PC. We’re a team of two, and I’m the only programmer. Splitting time across multiple platforms wouldn’t be fair on you or the game. Depending on h…
