Hey everyone :)

Big news today on two fronts.

Your chat becomes your crew [Multiplayer Twitch Plays]

We're building something new: Twitch Mode. Viewers can type !join in chat to take control of their very own crew member aboard the vehicle, live during the stream. Each colonist runs on its usual autonomous AI, but the viewer who claims it decides its job priority in real time, repair, man a weapon, haul resources, fight fires, whatever the moment demands.No shared chaos, no commands fighting each other. One viewer, one colonist, real control.We're planning to run this live on Twitch (and possibly simulcast on Steam Broadcasting). More details on schedule coming soon, join our Discord to be the first to know.

Steam Next Fest

We're also applying for the next Steam Next Fest. If accepted, it'll be the biggest chance yet for new players to jump into the demo, meet the crew system firsthand, and help shape where Irondrive goes next.Wishlist the game now if you haven't already, it genuinely helps us get noticed during the Fest.Thanks as always for the support, the bug reports, and the feedback. It shapes every update. See you in chat.Join the Discord: discord.gg/NNWJP6rRAQ
