A Great Beginning

Wow would you look at that. Just over a month since the last dev blog and here we are again. Crazy! I had an ambitious goal to try and release to pre-alpha closed testing over the Christmas break. Not surprising, between hunting, busy work schedules and the most important thing.. family, well that …

Futures so bright...


I’m just going to stop apologizing for the delays between dev updates… Trying to find Balance between family life, an incredibly demanding work environment and some development cycles often means we don’t have time to publish constant updates every time we add in an item to the game however, it a…
