It's been a while since our last public update on Aground Zero, so I figured it was time to update everyone!
Development progress is going smoothly, the next area (the subways) are mostly complete and I just recently added water (the last major feature of the game). However, when I went through the amount of models left to finish and the rate at which the modeler is making them, I realized we weren't going to be able to release this year. So, we've tentatively postponed the release date to "Early 2024," potentially with an early access release in late 2023.
While I am sure many of you are disappointed about this, here is something fun to lighten the blow:

Maybe worker bots are exactly what our dev team needs.
Aground Zero is a 3D spinoff of Aground - taking place during the same timeline of the main game. As one of the few survivors deep underground on Earth, you will have to mine, craft and build a bunker with only your protosuit and a cheerful AI as a companion.
Did other humans survive the bombardment? Perhaps together you can make someplace livable, and even try to return to the surface - but who knows what you'll find when you get there!
