Hi all, just a quick progress update on the Early Access Roadmap!
We're currently midway between Month 1 and Month 4, and I'm happy to report that the core new features scheduled for the Month 4 update are essentially complete.
These include
- A big update to pilot skills
- Improvements to wreck exploration and mining
- A new 'endless' game mode allowing for more open gameplay
- Fast travel mechanics
In addition there's been some important planning regarding the lore and storyline.
It's always the little things - like fixing bugs, UI enhancements, performance issues - that take up an unexpectedly large portion of development time. So we're not really ahead of schedule - the time between now and Month 4 (July) will be taken up with these minor improvements and bugfixes.
But if you can't wait to try the new features above you can join the Relic Space Discord to access the Beta branch, which has already been updated, as well as discussing the game with fellow fans and the developer.
