Here is the detail of the timeline of all planned updates during the Early Access period. Of course it's only a projection, so it could change, but it's what i wish to bring to the game. As a remark, those list contains only the most important changes, there will be other minor or unplanned changes in each updates.
Same as for my previous game Dig or Die, the price will rise with each major update until the release. This way you "pay only for what is already done", no promises, and all future updates are free bonus. I'll increase the price after a week of discount (probably -20%) for the update's release.
I'm sorry for the lack of updates (especially in Beta) recently, as I have had to do some heavy refactoring to prepare the new updates, which will be all regrouped in a big v0.7 release instead of multiple minor ones. And it should not improve much before september as i'll take a few weeks of vacations in August (sorry!).

This one is the biggest update, with the content I really want to add to the game, especially for the mid and end game, to make the objectives much more interesting and diverse:
- story, with lot of specific items & objectives. Some surprises :-)
- more 3D models
v1.0 - RELEASE - Q2 to Q4 2024
This v1.0 will basically be the v0.9 after it's well tested and polished, ready for the final release!
