Summary
We have noticed that for quite a number of years now that the Streamer vs Twitch mode was very rarely ever used by players and yet it added a great overhead on development. 99.9% of our players play the traditional game, rather than challenges or Twitch vs Streamer mode and therefore we have decided to remove it so that we can focus our efforts on improving the base game. Challenges will still remain and are unaffected.
We also have some quality of life additions and a small bug fix.
The road to release
We will monitor feedback over the next couple of months and will aim to release the game later this year. The game is incredibly balanced, we've got 1000's of players, loads of content and it has been incredibly stable (we've not had a crash report for years). It has been in development now for roughly 11 years and we're not planning on stopping soon, however many years of Early Access has brought great improvements through the community to get it to where it is today.
The price will increase slightly when the game is out of Early Access, we still very much want it to be in the cheaper end of the market even though there's 100's of hours of replayability as we'd like lots of new players. Details on the slight price increase will come nearer release.
