Hey all!
Alex here with exciting news! The game now has a trailer and a release date.
Yep, we’re launching the game on the 20th of February. The 1.0 update doubles the amount of written content in the game, adds human enemies, improves the conversation/emotion system, features heavy rebalancing, and adds more backgrounds, trinkets, polish, and Steam achievements. We hope you enjoy it – this has taken a lot of effort to prepare!
Now, exiting Early Access means we’re satisfied with the game, but it doesn’t necessarily mean our work on it is finished. There were plenty of things that we planned to add or started working on, but that didn’t make the cut. We’re hoping to update the game with another boss fight (Legion alternative) and another playable character (fourth tank), and we also have plans to add modding support to the game. Separate console releases are also to be expected in the future.
All of this, however, is up in the air and partially dependent on the game’s financial future. With enough support for the game, we’d definitely love to update it even more – but we’re making no promises currently.
We’ll also monitor Steam discussions and our Discord server for bug reports and other suggestions.
Thank you for sticking with us through this journey! Community feedback has been essential for the game’s development throughout Early Access – including its role in balancing, as well as fixing various suboptimal systems, from character selection to the conversation system – and we hope experiencing the game’s evolution has been as exciting for you as it has been for us. See you on the other side!
