Updates
Updated builds with progress and fixes are posted about once a week. Watch the patch notes. As we complete the current high priority tasks, we will begin building and integrating the following systems as planned.
Roadmap
In order not to overload with redundant information, I will dedicate each dev blog to a separate topic. And for more detailed information on the planned systems to be implemented during the Early Access period, I will write (or draw) a separate roadmap.
Save system
This is the most important system that we will be implementing in the near term. In general, it is a complex system that should allow the player to save the game progress at any time and an unlimited number of times.
The Save System will be implemented into the game as it is created, so players will not have to wait until it is fully ready.
