  State of the Game: Thank You & What's Coming Next

  Hi guys, first of all I want to thank you all for playing the game. A few days ago we reached 1000+ unique players on Steam, for an early access version that was full of bugs and not close to finished at all. That feels like a lot, so thank you so much! I just finished a cinematic tool today, which will let me make cutscenes and overall much better-quality visuals with more control and creativity. You can see the teaser for the Viking Faction and Yeti Boss below. I have finally settled in the US properly, after moving multiple times over the past months, and I'm now starting to work again on the game. My goal is to reach a full release version before the end of the year, hopefully with multiplayer too, but at least a version with all 200+ units working correctly, many skills, and armor sets working, to have good replayability and many builds/parties to have fun with. I'll also make the game playable on mobile eventually.I've finished the AFK Expedition (Forest and Desert) — it seems to work properly, but I'm still tuning the difficulty and reward balance. To be short: you'll be able to send a party with skills and items that gets locked into that expedition, and it will automatically clear stages, even while you're offline for up to 12 hours. Hopefully this addition will be appreciated by players who were more interested in the "AFK" gameplay.I've also made huge changes to the battle visuals — it won't be a flat image anymore. This gives a more immersive, better-looking aesthetic during battle, and gives me more freedom to add effects like rain, snowflakes, sandstorms in the desert biome, screen rumbling when a boss uses a skill, etc.Next update will hopefully drop before the end of the month!
