Offsprings of the first men, once again, welcome back to another #FeatureFriday! ːthetreeoflifeː
Just like every Friday since the beginning of our journey, we're happy to bring you this week's behind-the-scenes look at the work we've been diving deep into for TFM. A lot of exciting changes are being taken place, as always with the aim of refining and enriching your gameplay experience. ːFistpumpː
Since we are knee-deep in working towards our next Major Update, our Steam build won’t be receiving an update yet. There's a lot we're overhauling and re-imagining, and we want to make sure that when we do release it, it presents a thoroughly complete and polished experience for all our players. So, it might take a little while, but we promise it'll be well worth the wait! ːreimpressedː
Now, for a sneak peek at what we've been up to:

In the broader context, we're approaching an exhilarating checkpoint for TFM. Once this major update rolls out, we'll have reached a point where TFM delivers a complete experience. This evolution is a culmination of all the invaluable feedback we've gathered since the beginning of the Early Access. Our journey through early access has been incredible, and seeing TFM grow with your feedback has been nothing short of rewarding. We genuinely can't wait to hear what all of you will think about the new changes and refinements. ːreexcitedː
