We've got the finishing touches on our latest update ready just in time for the launch of Next Fest, while some of these were covered in our pre-launch tester update, the vast majority of changes will be covered here and will be new to any players who haven't hopped in since our last big update. Here's a fairly comprehensive list of all of our fixes and changes up to this point.
Be sure to follow the links on our steam page to join our discord and follow us on social media! We're so excited to share everything we've been working on. We're planning to launch into EA on the 28th, just after Next Fest ends, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!
