[previewyoutube=eZSklqh9YXs;full][/previewyoutube] Welcome, Small Soldiers! Live Stream (We're handing out keys every hour when live!) https://steamcommunity.com/broadcast/watch/76561197989243780 Wow. What a year it has been! Honestly, its been tough. And not just for us, but for everyone. I truly hope youre all coping well. Its likely there are a lot of new eyeballs on this announcement, so I'd like to start by posting a previous message about Mental Health. Its something thats very important to us. You can read more about that here. Right. So, theres a second wow. IGN Full Exclusive! Can you believe it? We cant. This next bit gets a bit wordy, so bear with me. From a failed Early Access Launch in 2017, to rebuilding the game from scratch with the community which we dubbed Early Access 2.0 in 2018, to then leaving Early Access in 2020 and becoming a Top Seller on Steam. And now look where we are. The front page of Steam with an IGN Full Exclusive. For those of you who do not know, were a team of five indie devs. Anything is possible with hard work and determination. We have huge plans for the future of Hypercharge, including a Survival mode coming later this year.
