Thanks everyone for all the great feedback since the Axial Rift announcement! This has resulted in tangible improvements to the game and is greatly appreciated!
In addition, tons of progress has been made to the core engine, tools, and gameplay systems over the last few months, making it a much more polished experience. The primary area of the game that needs work now are the level designs, so that is where I will be focusing next. This was a deliberate decision, as now the level editor is more polished and can be used to build levels faster and more efficiently. I have some great ideas for level designs moving forward, and I hope everyone enjoys them when the game is released!
