Hello Operators!
Summer is coming, finally! Hope you guys have your holidays planned out. Meanwhile we will continue working on making sure you have a solid top down tactical experience when you come back. Also, we have a couple of updates and announcements to make. Before we get to those, we would like to thank you all for your continous support, feedback and good word! We really appreciate that.
Early Access date
First of all, we have decided to shift the EA time to Q3 2017. We are unable to give you exact date but we will be running extensive pre-EA tests before that time so you can definately hop on our discord server and queue up for the pre-EA test game key.
More information on reasons for delay etc. can be found in this topic
Vehicle Animations Progress
We are continuing to make progress in vehicle department. To improve the immersiveness we are adding in some more animation features. All seat positions will have fully animated entering, exiting, idling and even removing body actions! Take a look at some rough examples.
Official Developer Stream (with community members!)
Last but not least - Dev streams are here! Every now and then we will try to get you up to date with development progress via Twitch stream. At the same time, you will get a chance to see us playing with our community members who have been accepted for Alpha tests. We will be expanding the pool of testers very soon when we release the Update 2 (ETA 25JUN17). The streams and tests will be targeted at two timezones at which we are located: Europe and East Asia. Dates and times for streams will be announced on our official Twitter and Discord channel so make sure to subscribe to either or both of them!
