Our Production team is very focused on content delivery, in the form of fixes and features. Today we'll be going over some specifics and then generalize a bit about our approach and process. Now that we have crested the big "Steam" goal there's much more for us to do that players have been asking for, we hope this helps inform you that we're listening and taking action to, "make it so." One quick note for our Steam users: The resolution issues some have you have had, is being worked on with great priority and we have a hopeful fix currently in testing - thanks for your feedback. Also don't forget, this Sunday is OPERATION PLUNDER at 12PM Server Time. Okay, on with the production team!

Great things are happening here at Cornered Rat Software, our Steam release is purely amplifying that success further.
