Hey guys! I haven't made an announcement in a while, as I've been both sick, and busy with various things, including the v2.3.0 update!

WEBSITE REDESIGN

So to start off, yesterday I made a huge change to my website, and gave it a fresh coat of paint! It loads faster, looks cleaner, and allows for quicker navigation. I added a list of older games I've worked, as well as old Minecraft mods I've worked on. Check out the site here!

v2.3.0 INFO

So, I've been working on v2.3.0 a lot, wanting to get a lot of things right and make the game a lot more polished. With this in mind, v2.3.0 will be the update that brings the game extremely close to launch, with a lot more to do, a lot more things to see, and much, much more. The main menu loads into a hub when pressing play, where you can buy weapons for the game, and warp to the moon or the planet. I also plan to add some other things to the hub as well, such as tiny little games for "Hub Entertainment" when you (a soldier) are off duty. These will be fun little mini games to play before going back to battle. I got this idea when watching videos of U.S. Soldiers playing Call of Duty or other games while at camp. As for the release date, that is to be decided. My original prediction to get the game out of Early Access was for Q1 2017. I plan to release v2.3.0 sometime near the end of March. This will put the Full Release back a bit, maybe to late Q2 2017, but 2017 for sure. I'm very excited to finally get the game out to you guys. The reasons for the delay are: I've been sick for a while, and it's been on-and-off. I'll be fine one day, and the next I'm in bed coughing and sneezing and feel awful. Another reason is I haven't been home much as I still have the job at my local grocery store. I've also been refining who I am on the internet, as indicated by the website redesign. I've also been gathering old hard drives to find old backups of all my projects (still havent found any backups of Lost World Zero, except for one, which was dated Janauary 2016, a month before Steam EA release). I've been backing up my portfolio to many HDDs the past couple days, and it's no easy task. The entire portfolio folder is 125GB. I've been backing it up to my internal HDDs, and will back up to external HDDs that are never used, and are purely for backups now. So that's what's been up lately. I'm working hard on v2.3.0 and I hope to release it soon! Thank you guys, Mark
