Who’s ready for Director’s Commentary 2: Return of the Donblog? It’s just me again. I’m going to play a bit of catch-up with some Hordetest info and some immediate plans. Since I’ve last written an entry the whole island has been updated. Jace had been hard at work getting the fe

Don - Director Who’s ready for nothing but director’s commentary? There’s been a lot of moving parts this month so I’m giving the team a break from having to provide an entry. There may be a distinct lack of media in this particular devblog since it’s just me, but I’ll try to cat
Filipe - Lead Programmer As you know, there were also some issues related to upgrading the engine version from 5.4 to 5.6 that caused delays, but it was a much needed upgrade. The T. Rex and Elder System has its first pass out in the Hordetest, but I have also been working on the
