Hello everyone, welcome back to another #FeatureFriday!
We are so happy to share that we began the planned Steam Playtest with all of our Discord Champions! Every Friday we will add more testers, and keep collecting feedback and bug reports while doing our best to fix them all. If you want to participate in the playtest, please consider joining TFM's Discord.
This screenshot is taken from one of our Discord Champions: Lexhy. What a lovely settlement!
