This past week we've had versions 0.12.0 through 0.12.5 on the earlytests branch on Steam and received some some great feedback on the Steam forum, Discord and other bug reports which allowed us to keep getting updates out with vital fixes and get closer to a build ready for the main branch. We've just moved 0.12.5 to the main branch on Steam and you can see the full changelist below and check out our previous Steam post for more information on this build.

Upcoming Price Change

As mentioned in previous updates and as we've always stated on the Steam store page, we'll soon be raising the price to the final, non-Early Access price. This will happen at the end of the coming week on Friday the 9th of October and the price will go up to $19.99 USD. Unfortunately due to Steam rules surrounding having discounts shortly before or after a price change, we'll likely not be able to take part in the next Steam holiday sale, but if you'd like to buy the game after this week but can't pay $19.99, the game will be discounted on Steam at least 2 times before the end of the year so keep an eye out for that. We're happy to have provided the game at a lower price throughout Early Access as we personally don't believe people should pay full price for an unfinished product, especially when there's no guarantee it ever will be. Now that we're approaching 1.0 and feature completion (although we absolutely will be continuing to improve and add more to the game after 1.0 for a long time to come), that time has come.
