Hippocratic Oath Breakers is live! And sadly, our final (planned) big update. It focuses on adding early and later game variety as well as new flotilla upgrades and an overhaul to the encounter trigger system to help keep runs feeling fresh.
So, what now? We still have a few things we want in the game which got cut for one reason or another (a faction, some upgrades, and a boss or three). So, these will probably make their way into the game at some point; but we do not have a set schedule for their release. Beyond that we plan to continue to address any bugs that are discovered. So… go forth and vent people in space. Or whatever you kinder Ark captains do.
