Progress and Early Access
Good day everyone!Today we'd like to share a little of the progress we've made in these last few months with you all.A lot has happened since the Steam Next Fest in February so this post won't be covering everything.But first we'd like to inform you about Early Access. We plan to release the game in Early Access, with roughly 30% of its total content.We'll also be posting more in the future to keep everyone updated on progress.Now for some new features:The Map!By pressing Tab you will be able to view the map and various other important information. Honestly this should have existed since before the Steam Next Fest Demo, but my brother and me didn't think it was necessary at the time (it definitely was).Enemy BehaviorUntil now enemies have always started out with their own buildings and could never get stronger.From now on they will be able to build, gather resources and expand, under the command of their own leader.Localization!Starting with our own native language: GermanLocalization has been added to most texts already, with a few exceptions. We'll see about expanding to other languages some time after early access lands.That's all for today, until next time!-EliasRead full article on Community Announcements (siebensamurai)Patch NotesOfficial
