Hello everyone,
we’ve got a bit of unfortunate news. Beginning yesterday, our government is prolonging the state of emergency and tightening lockdown even more. Up until now, offices could stay open, but under the new restrictions offices are being closed down as well. Home office is mandatory wherever possible. Citizens are not allowed to leave districts for any other than work or family related reasons.
That means we have to get equipment from our offices, bring it home, and make sure everything works correctly. Additionally, we are working on tasks that require meeting in person (like doing improved voice work). That is no longer possible. We predict that abiding by the new restrictions will slow down our workflow somewhat. The state of emergency is said to be in effect for the next three weeks, but that is honestly something our government's been saying for the past six months.
We are still on track for the public beta of the 1.0 update on 8th of March - that is still happening. However, the final release will have to be pushed back by exactly two weeks to April 13th to account for any possible delays. Believe us, we are not happy about it, but there is nothing we can do about the current situation.
We will keep you posted and inform you of any changes that might come up.
Stay safe, people!
