Game update

Update [EA.0.8.0] - 01.08.2026

NET.CRAWL · published

We are doing the thing where we are trying to sync the 1.0 release with the Cyberpunk Steam festival, and it's in just 2 days. Needless to say, it made everything more rushed than I would want it to be, but I'd say we are doing alright and it should be worth it.

Can't make a proper update post, though. Sorry.
