Hello!
There's no release date yet, but we wanted to update you about the great progress we're currently making.
Development Progress
During the last month we've added a couple of new locations and quests, lots of new art, new enemies, two boss fights, and a solid amount of gameplay and framework improvements. It feels like we're on a roll. It's not quite enough to confidently announce an exact release date yet, but the game is coming together nicely and feedback from testers is very positive.
What's left to do
Our task board is bursting with things to do, but looking at the Early Access release the priorities can be summarized as:
- continuing the implementation of the main story
- adding a few more quests
- revamping the skill system
- improving existing content
- further improvements to the controls
- creating a trailer
And finding a date that doesn't overlap too much with other major releases in the genre.
Here's hope that all of this will happen soon.
Puke Bar - Main Area (WIP)
