It's hard for me to describe what today ended up being like to those who fortunately haven't struggled under a labor of love for so many years of their life, but if ever my partner and I had doubt that what we were choosing to devote our lives to wasn't as relevant as we hoped, today, hundreds of new friends and supporters obliterated those doubts and I go to a rest in my bed (a mattress in the corner of a tiny room) far better then I've known for years; Feeling bad only in that I had to leave our newfound comrades for hours requisite to recharge the human body.

The server, despite the occasional lag spike, somehow took every ounce of punishment we could give it and begged for more. Hundreds of people all running around in the same game world, beginning their own paths toward creation and not even beginning to tax the system to its limits means we've never been more confident in our client and server work to create a game capable of Planetside-level intense combat, and crafting and construction on a level even greater in many ways than Star Wars Galaxies.

And this is just our very first day on Steam Early Access...

Tomorrow (Today) we begin the task of activating all available assets from their standby state and putting them to frantic work with a long list of bugfixes and new game enhancements that, thanks to your contributions, we can now begin to afford.

Full tutorials.
Options menu additions and improvements (turn off the film grain among them)
Fully-fleshing out of melee combat (for when a gunshot to the face is perhaps excessive to get your point across)
Clothing and armor improvements and new items added.
Reskinning and giving Callidus humans and Lokri their own unique appearances.
Fixing our NPCs so creature hunting can once again return to the world of Rook in all it's dangers and intensity.
More synthetic chassis for synthetic players to inhabit.
Vindicator and Verrator weapons and abilities such as stealth, teleport-backstab, and other racial abilities.
Introduction to our three primary factions in the game, and the players ability to align with them.
Numerous bigfixes, and much, much more.

Again, we cannot thank you guys enough for your support and for giving us this chance to show the world what insane features modern MMORPGs should have and don't... Thanks for giving us the change to share with you all the dream we have called "Divergence". We promise, the best is yet to come... ;)
