After the recent Steam Game Festival we have collected all your feedback which turned out to be pretty much along the lines we anticipated - which is great, because it means we know where we are at the moment! After all, knowing where we are makes it possible to chart a course to where we want to be.
This is what we have done for the weeks and months ahead, up to the scheduled release of the full game in June. For your convenience this is summarized in this video on our YouTube channel, which of course you should follow to stay up to date with the game's development.
Have a look at the Development Outlook video:
