An early update!
We managed to get this update out a bit earlier than Sunday. There isn't a ton of change in this update but there are some very important bug fixes. As always we are working hard to add as many quality of life features as possible. You will see one of these changes on the map.

Still working hard on the next big feature
Panos is still working on a few essential art assets for the new feature. I'd say he is about 75% of the way through them and likely will have some new content ready for next weeks update. There is still quite a bit of work left for him on that front but he is working hard as always.
I'm approximately 25% of the way through my side of the work for the new feature. We plan on pushing out an early version of it sooner than later. You can likely expect that early version of it in the next month. There are about 180 more files I have to create/edit before that it is anywhere near ready for the public.
Even after we finish all that there are a number of quality assurance steps we plan to take prior to pushing the new feature out to the public.
Thank you for being understanding and patient with us. We promise we are working our hardest to bring this game to a more complete state. If it wasn't already clear (and/or this is your first time reading a news update) we are only a two man team so as you can imagine we are only able to do so much in such little time.
