1.1 news: conversations preview & release date update

Thanks for your patience whilst I fine-tune 1.1 for release! The conversations are almost done - here's a new preview video I released yesterday:

I've been working very hard on this and have gone through two major iterations so far. There's still a few more things to add into the mix, such as opinion bonuses based on stats checks, and asking about someone's connections. I'm working on those over the next few days.

1.1 release date update

I've been working very hard on Sol Trader for the last three months. In order to avoid burnout and continue releasing regular updates for you all, I need to take a break. I'm therefore taking the family away on holiday for two weeks at the beginning of August.

I'd love to get 1.1 out to you all before I go away, but that wouldn't be sensible. I want to release a stable working build that you can all enjoy, and I won't be able to fix issues or respond to questions whilst I'm away.

I've therefore decided to release 1.1 in mid-August. It'll go live pretty much as soon as I'm back from holiday. I'm really sorry about the delay, but it's worth it to ensure that I can respond quickly to any questions or problems that come up. I hope you all understand.

Thanks for your continued support of the game!

Until next time,
Chris
