Hello Rebels!
We are pleased to bring you the latest update 2.0.0, which brings many features and improvements that we have been working on over the past months, and thus the game has reached Beta status. We expect it to be a serious release candidate :-)
By the way, apart from the Windows version, we publish native versions for macOS and Linux. We ask for a little bit of understanding here, if something doesn't work perfectly, please let us know on the Steam Community forum.
And probably the most important thing at this point:
Danger Scavenger will leave Early Access on PC, Mac, Linux, Atari VCS and will be launch on Nintendo Switch on 25th March.
On this occasion, we are publishing a new Launch Trailer that shows the current state of the game and, for the unfamiliar with the game, introduces its main features:
