Early Access Update #23 - What an Achievement

Hi all,

We’re gearing up for full release. A lot of work has gone into polish tasks but, as promised, we worked on Steam integration. This week update includes the Steam Achievements and Cloud Saving! We’re not done with Trading Cards yet, that will take a little longer.

Besides that, we also replaced the Title Screen. It’s now animated and it’s awesome. We’re very happy with it. The rest of the changes are mostly visual. Drilling now looks much better, as do the clouds and smoke effects. But there is more still. Check it out when you update the game!
