Like I said, we're a bit late with this, that's undeniable. BUT, we did a lot, and we kept you up to date with our updates as well.
Bugs start to appear more and more rarely, so balancing and adding new features has been among the main focus. We're also preparing all the texts for translations.
We're gathering your feedback continuously, through the ingame tool, on discord, on the forums, etc, ugually in 7 days batches. Then at the end of the week we do average (yes, we happened to get in the same week about the same map or topic both the "It's too easy" and "it's too hard", but that's normal) and then decide what to apply, what not, and in what order.
I really think the balancing is shaping up a lot more nicely now, both in battle and in the campaign itself. There's still a lot to do, but well, we're here to do it!

What's coming next? Well, first of all we need to finally refactor the tutorial. Instead of a single long one, I want to make 2-4 shorter ones, more modular, more focused on single topics each. Then it's Settings, Achievements and Localization.
On we go, let's march!
