Hey everyone!
Stephen here to bring you the latest and greatest voting results! We're hard at work prototyping our new battle system (from the previous feature vote), and adding controller support.
But you're here for the feature vote!
Results:
1. Add a New Giant - 34.7%
2. Ability to Label Chests -16.3%
And a tie for 3rd!
3. A way to repel deer from the base - 14.3%
3. A way to permanently delete items - 14.3%
Add a New Giant
A resounding first place! We're glad that you all love the story. Unfortunately... we have some (kind of) bad news
We've decided to not release any story until the 1.0 update.
What?! WHY!??!
One of the big revelations of Early Access was the game mechanics help drive the story (specifically the way we execute quests and missions). With us still tweaking and adding new features, adding story elements without having the flexibility to change them will almost surely result in a less cohesive story.
That being said, we've gone ahead and designed a new station (as per your vote!)
This is the Iris Station. To avoid spoilers, you can drink in the visuals and wonder what the heck it’s all about.

What does this mean for the feature vote?
Don't worry, we've actually gone ahead and started to add the Iris Station into the world, build out the dialogue, and some of the fun interactions that hopefully will catch you off guard
The Remaining Results
We expect the Iris station to be a huge undertaking, which means we don't have the bandwidth to work on both the Iris Station and any of the other features for an upcoming update.
As a small team of 3, we hope you understand that we need to be smart about how much we take on, and we hope to blow you away with the Iris Station!

Featured Fan Art
I wanted to also start posting some of the fan art that we see come through the discord, to highlight our awesome community, from beginner artists, to experts!
Shout out to @Forgotten_dev for this.
We'll continue to release smaller quality of life updates while we work on these behemoth, multi-month features. See you soon
