Dystopia 1.5.3
Who would have thought that after 15 years Dystopia is receiving updates?
Our Discord and its wonderful community
1.5.2 released almost two years ago. Since then, we have continued development with the support of our fantastic community over our Discord Server. We can’t believe the enormous amount of love and support we continue to receive from all of you.
Moving our Bug Tracker
Today, Puny Human is releasing a big update to make Dystopia better than ever. In an effort to centralize bug reports, bug reports are moving to our internal Bug Tracker. We appreciate the love, support, and bug reports and couldn’t continue developing without you!
Continuing Dystopia development
For the future, we hope to get the statistics system and Wiki running again, maintain servers, and hopefully release a Mac client. If you want to help with this, then head over to Dystopia’s crowdfunding page, or maybe pick up a copy of another one of our games?
We’ll be seeing you in cyberspace...
