Warfork Update - New map: shredder

Hey Forkers,

WHAT!! has been hard at work on our third Warfork map, "shredder". Today, we bring you the beta version 1 of this map. We would appreciate it if you shared your feedback in this news post.

A special thanks to Evillair, Hipshot, and Boqu for the textures.

Lastly here's a message from WHAT!!:

"Hi forkers it's WHAT again. I was told to create a map around the concept of "toxic" by the powers up on high and I thought it would be fun to put that together with a bit of the old me and let loose with something a bit more free and wide. You all are probably going to haul some serious ass on this map. I look forward to all the insane movement people come up with. Thanks to our patient testing team for all the times I have pestered them for input. Have fun!"

Warfork 2.14 Game Update

Hey Forkers,

Today, we're excited to announce an update featuring Steam Integration (primarily focused on moderation tools), along with fixes for Discord integration and various other improvements. You can find the changelog below. We'd like to extend a special thanks to "coolelectronics" for implementing Steamworks SDK, Mark "learn_more" Jansen for conducting code reviews for all Steamworks related code, Cyanic for advising us on various Steamworks obstacles, and Josh "Gelmo" Gelman for leading beta testing. Additionally, we wish to express our gratitude to Michael Pollind for his contributions to the renderer, and to Ashley 'LadyHavoc' Hale and Michael 'mikejs' Savage for their invaluable guidance and code reviews, as requested.

Steam Integration:


  • Steam IDs are now visible when using the "status" command (rcon required) or typing "players". [coolelectronics]
  • Implemented Warfork Steam Community bans. [coolelectronics]
  • Servers can now be restricted to Steam Authenticated users only, with sv_useSteamAuth "1" (enabled by default). [coolelectronics]
  • Define permanent operators by SteamID with g_permanent_operators "[noparse]steamid64[/noparse][noparse]:[/noparse][noparse]steamid64[/noparse][noparse]:[/noparse][noparse]steamid64[/noparse]". [coolelectronics]
  • Restrict your server to only Whitelisted SteamIDs using sv_whitelist "[noparse]steamid64[/noparse][noparse]:[/noparse][noparse]steamid64[/noparse][noparse]:[/noparse][noparse]steamid64[/noparse]". [coolelectronics]
  • Added the following commands: mute , removemute , ban , and removeban . [coolelectronics]
  • In-game player names are now derived from Steam Persona names on first launch or if set to "Player" or any variant during game launch. [coolelectronics]
  • Added ability to block players in-game by pressing escape, clicking "Players", and selecting the player to block. Steam profiles can also be viewed this way. [coolelectronics]
  • Detailed information about Warfork is now displayed in your Steam game status. [coolelectronics]
  • Steam Friends can now join you in a server using the "Join Game" button. [coolelectronics]
  • Steam profile pictures are now visible on the scoreboard. [coolelectronics]
  • Added the command "steam_debug 1" to assist in troubleshooting Steam-related issues. [coolelectronics]


Discord Integration:

  • Removed color codes from game server names displayed in Discord rich presence. [coolelectronics]
  • Fixed issue where Discord game joins failed when Warfork was not running. [coolelectronics]
  • Resolved Discord rich presence issue causing repeated console errors printed when using a 1-character server name. [coolelectronics]
  • Resolved an issue where Discord rich presence incorrectly displayed 'unknownmap' for custom maps not listed in 'valid_maps'. Now, custom maps properly show 'unknownmap' as the level shot without affecting the map name. [coolelectronics]
  • Fixed Discord rich presence not loading levelshots for maps with uppercase characters. [coolelectronics]
  • Added discord levelshots: infinirace, infinirace_covered, return, pressure, shredder, and raketliga_slide. [caine]


General Bug Fixes:

  • Resolved an issue with level of detail (LOD) loading across different pk3 files, preventing bypassing of pure checks when items were in a _pure file. [Michael Pollind]
  • Fixed the console and start game button not working when you click on it. [Gauley]
  • Fixed the ammo count in the generated Clan Arena config. [Josh "Gelmo" Gelman]
  • Updated Clan Arena map defaults: Removed wfca1 and wfca2. Added: return and pressure. [caine]
  • Fixed demoget, which was broken in the previous update. [coolelectronics]
  • Fixed a crash bug on macos where a non power of two texture would crash the game. [Michael Pollind]
  • Implemented several rendering enhancements and fixes. [Michael Pollind]


Housekeeping:

  • Updated Angelscript 2014 to 2024. [Melissa aka "codecat"]
  • Updated third party gametypes to work with Angelscript 2024. [Josh "Gelmo" Gelman]
  • Updated various console descriptions. [caine and Josh "Gelmo" Gelman]
  • Removed scr_conspeed. There was no need to customize the console speed. It should just appear quickly as possible. [caine]
  • Removed cg_pickup_flash, which produced a flash effect when you pickup an item or weapon. [caine]
  • Removed g_disable_vote_vmute, g_disable_vote_vunmute, g_disable_opcall_vmute, and g_disable_opcall_vunmute, as the mute commands now mute vsays as well. [coolelectronics]
  • Enhanced callvote UI for improved context and expanded dropdown menu visibility. [Rees "TheFatCheetah"]
  • Removed cg_explosionsRing and cg_explosionsDust. These have both been disabled by default for years. [caine]
  • Removed the variable cg_placebo, which was merely for humor. [caine]
  • Removed Cartoon Hits aka Critical Hit Effects. Damage numbers have since replaced them. [caine]
  • Player models now have 4 jump sounds. For the time being the 3-4 are just duplicates of 1-2, but this will eventually change. This is noted in the changelog incase you have a custom sound pack. [caine]
  • Fixed various Continuous Integration issues. [Josh "Gelmo" Gelman]
  • Added Warfork TV console command descriptions previously overlooked. [caine and Josh "Gelmo" Gelman]
  • Added TV server option to disable heartbeat logging with tv_log_heartbeats. [Josh "Gelmo" Gelman]
  • It is no longer possible to kick/kickban/mute an operator or TV client. [coolelectronics]

Minor Warfork update

Hey Forkers,

You might have noticed a "game update". Previously, when you downloaded Warfork, it fetched the Windows, Linux, and MacOS versions regardless of your operating system. We've moved each respective version into its own depot. So, for future updates, if you're running Windows, you'll only receive the Windows version of Warfork. Another change you might notice is that the odd directory structure previously used is no more. For example, on Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fvi\fvi-launcher\applications\warfork\Warfork.app\Contents\Resources\basewf has simply become C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fvi\basewf.

Lastly, we wanted to inform everyone we've removed 32-bit builds of Warfork and will no longer support them. We're sorry for any confusion and will make this change to the Warfork Dedicated Server as well tonight. You can expect an actual game-changing update shortly, and we apologize for the confusion.

Texture Artists Needed for Warfork!

Hey forkers,

We're currently in need of texture artists to help out with our third map, "Shredder," for Warfork. While the map has been blocked out, we're facing a pause due to the lack of textures. If you or someone you know is capable and willing to lend a hand, please join our Discord server at https://warfork.com/discord and send a Direct Message to "caine."

On a positive note, we're excited to announce that we've implemented all the planned features for the next version of Warfork, including Steam Integration and several other improvements. You can take a sneak peek at the changelog: https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-qfusion/issues/239#issuecomment-2002805983. We're currently conducting tests and making final adjustments, so stay tuned!

That's all for now. Thank you for your support!

Warfork Update - New map: pressure

Hey Forkers,

WHAT!! has been hard at work on our second Warfork map, "pressure." Today, we bring you the beta version 1 of this map. We would appreciate it if you shared your feedback in this news post.

A special thanks to Boqu for the textures and Jazcash, goreyzr, snuffy, Oizo, TheCodingDucc, Klaufir, farmz0r, Froid, sd1290, t3lly, and Maarten for playtesting the map.

Lastly here's a message from WHAT!!:

"Sup ya'll it's ya boi WHAT!! again. Here is the second map in a series of however many I can knock out before I burn out. This one isn't quite as "zoom-zoom" as Return and the combat is a bit tighter. During play testing it produced some VERY interesting and fun games. A special thanks to Boqu for the incredible texture set he provided for this map and a huge thanks to Oizo for his help and insight during the layout construction. He's my rude muse and I'd be stuck in the weeds without him."

Warfork Update - New map: return

Hey Forkers,

You might have just seen a 30MB game update. WHAT!! the creator of custom maps, such as Our Package, WTF, babyimpreggers, gowhatyourself, warmandsticky, whatsparadigm, yeahwhatevah, and many more, has been hard at work on our first Warfork map, "return." Today, we bring you the beta version 1 of this map. It will be some time before the In The Keep servers and other servers are updated with it, but you can join our Discord tonight and play with us on a temporary server and join us in voice chat. We would appreciate it if you shared your feedback in this news post.

A special thanks to Boqu for the textures and Jazcash, goreyzr, snuffy, xanhast, Oizo, TheCodingDucc, and Klaufir for playtesting the map.

Lastly here's a message from WHAT!!:

"Hi this is WHAT!! It's been a while hasn't it? My four year old daughter started playing with Legos and that put me in the mood to build something of my own. I shook off the rust and decided to make a new map because I guess nobody else is doing it these days. This is technically a beta which jives with the Warfork theme of early access so if you've got any feedback or notice any bugs drop a message in discord so I can fix my screw ups. Have fun ya'll."

Ivar Hill continues to work with 3DR and prepares to provide exciting news on Core Decay, an immersive sim inspired by classics like System Shock and Deus Ex revealed at last years Realms Deep.

We have extracted all the Warfork Testing PK3 files once again since the previous update is now live. If you have a limited amount of bandwidth per month we urge you to uninstall the FVI Launcher DLC (which contains Warfork Testing).

Minor game update

Hey Forkers,

We bring you a minor update to squash some bugs which were pestering players. We're in the process of working on models amongst many other things at the moment and will have more news shortly.

- Fixed a player name bug.

- Teamcolored textures now work after 2nd map loading

- Server containing only spaces as hostname no longer take up two lines in the server browser.

- Added const uint8 cClient::buttons to AS. This property allows gametypes to check the pressed buttons of a given
client. This way a gametype can detect whether a player is pressing his
attack button at a given time. This could be used to to implement
controllable vehicles for example. Intercepting the +attack command has
proven to be an unreliable method to accomplish something like that.

- Added some administration functions to AS. This changeset allows gametypes to
* promote/demote operators
* mute/unmute clients
* drop clients with custom messages printed on the clients' screen after
dropping out of the game.

- Added bool cEntity::allowFunctionOverride to AS
This property allows gametypes to take control of arbitrary edict_t
function callbacks. This way a gametype can enhance existing entities
by extending their behaviour.

- Added G_PureFile to gametype AS
This allows gametypes to register files other than sounds and models as
pure. This can be used to transfer other files to connecting clients,
for example ui files.

- Fix qwertz layouts messing up the first char in the console.

- Add cfg filename autocomplete for writeconfig command.

- Updated the Warfork credits and completely revised the Warsow credits to be more accurate.

- Updated some logos and billboards.

- Moved /misc/ sounds to non-pure.

- Allow server owners to configure disallowed cvars. This also stops requesting empty cvarchecks. See: configs/server/cheatvars.txt

FVI Launcher added

Hey Forkers,

We've renamed the "Warfork Testing" DLC to "FVI Launcher", which now gives you quick access to the Warfork Map editor of choice (Netradiant Custom) bundled with the Warfork Game Pack + Map Sources, Warfork, and Warfork Testing via an easy to use launcher. For the time being the launcher is only for 64-bit Windows. If you have the DLC installed and click Play you'll be prompted with the "Warfork" and "FVI Launcher" as choices. If this bothers you: 1. Right click Warfork 2. Click Properties. 3. Click DLC 4. Uncheck what should be listed as "Warfork Beta", "Warfork Testing", or "FVI Launcher" depending upon when you activated it. A handful of programs, tutorial videos, new features, and more will be added shortly.

Notes:

1. To change launch options for each application please edit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fvi\fvi-launcher\config\metafiles\windows.wf.metadata.txt

2. FVI Launcher uses Windows' built-in video playback support (DirectShow). This supports many video formats without problems, but in some cases it might be necessary to install separate codecs, or a codec pack. The K-Lite Basic pack is a popular choice that should work well for most cases.

Special thanks to Mtys "mmatyas" Mustoha and Seth "PlayingKarrde" Powell for their code contributions and continued support.

Warfork Soundtrack added in-game

Hello Forkers,

We've removed the placeholder music that has been in Warfork for quite some time and added music from our official soundtrack. Ava1anche our soundtrack composer is still hard at work and you can view his most recent progress here: https://soundcloud.com/deshaadman/sets/warfork-soundtrack-early-wips

The following tracks were added:

Utopia
Convergence
Electriccitadel
Neptune
Fugitive
Gloomworks
Machine
Residue
Riot

Note: Warfork Music is proprietary. If you wish to use free cc0 music please visit: https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-soundpacks/tree/master/cc0/music


[ 2021-06-16 18:25:54 CET ] [ Original post ]

Free sounds! Step right up!

Just as a reminder to anyone that doesn't read our Discord, while the new sounds are proprietary and exclusive to Warfork, the old + original ones we created are CC0 and CC BY SA 3.0. There's voice says, weapons, items, an announcer, player sounds, etc. If you would like to make use of them that would make us extremely happy!

https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-soundpacks
https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-textures

We hope to work with the FOSS community in creating new free player and weapon models as well after completing our proprietary ones. There should be a post regarding this once we reach this point.

- New announcer: Toni Jean Erasmus as "AI (Announcer)"

Su Ling as "Serena"

- Rekt gametype added.
- Bomb loadout bug fixed.
- Added "official" 32 bit support for Windows\Linux.
- Added OSX 64 bit support and dropped 32 bit support (see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436).
- Damage numbers size now saved.
- Fixed damage numbers bug in demos.
- Fixed wctf5 and wfca2.
- Fixed some issues with default.cfg


Note: We recommend existing players to copy + paste the following into console for optimal sound levels:

cg_volume_effects "0.7"; cg_volume_hitsound "0.5"; cg_volume_players "0.9"; cg_volume_voicechats "0.9"; cg_volume_efforts "0.65"

Voice Actor\Actress Cast Announcement

As we wrap up finalized sounds to replace everything you currently hear in-game we wanted to announce the Warfork VA cast. Our talented VA's have recorded character specific voice commands, kill reactions, round start says, efforts, and more! If you're too impatient to hear them you can try to install the Warfork Testing DLC on Steam and take a peek. A special thanks goes to our Sound Engineer MaxCarnage for making them sound vibrant and Oizo for testing/providing direction to VA's for player effort sounds to achieve our desired result. With that said our VA cast is as follows:




Toni Jean Erasmus as "AI (Announcer)" -- https://www.facebook.com/ToniJeanErasmus
[hr][/hr]

James Holyoake as "Rufus" -- https://www.jameshvoices.com/
[hr][/hr]
James Holyoake is a UK based Voice Actor with a distinct received pronunciation English accent. This gives him a great jumping off point to create a multitude of accents, dialects, and character voices. James grew up as a child of the 80s with such amazing voice acting inspirations as Peter Cullen (Transformers), Alan Oppenheimer (Masters of the Universe), and Frank Welker (Literally everything. no, really!).





Su Ling as "Serena" -- https://sulingchan.carrd.co/
[hr][/hr]
Su Ling Chan is an American trained voice actress based in Malaysia. She specialises in voicing young children's voices, spunky teenagers, realistic fight scenes (she has a martial arts background), the Malaysia/Singapore accent, and sassy females who kick ass.

When Su isnt in the sound booth, shes busy training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, and muay thai at the gym. Su has no aspirations to be a MMA fighter, though she does like to compete.





Matthew Archer as "Leon" -- https://matthewarchervoice.wixsite.com/matthewarcher/
[hr][/hr]
Matthew Archer has 14 years of acting experience and is now behind the microphone bringing characters to life. Professionally trained and making appearances from end bosses in video games to the high school best friend in animation, even audiobook narration. You dream, Archer shoots for the moon.

Our writers have years of experience under their belts - e.g. VG Almanac, GamingPurists, RetroFormat, Arcade Attack, Siren Radio, Gameffine, Funstock Retro, and more and now are aiming to create the go-to source for the classic first-person shooter genre."

The Pigeon Classic 2019 Pigeon Classic #2

Note: This is a community event generously hosted by The Keep.



Presented by The Keep

"Every October Cthalha charges us to honor Her with frags and gibs by raising funds for a worthy cause. Last year we turned out a couple hundred bucks for California wildfire relief with an epic Quake Champions King of the Hill and the help of State of Quake.

The Drowned God has charged us to make this years event bigger, better and more charitable than the last. So well be hosting 3 events for a blowout weekend of good will!

But why are we giving to a charity all the way over in Egypt?

ZDaemon players already know the story of Suplex.

Suplex is a young Egyptian Doom player stricken with leukemia. As he's fighting this awful disease, he takes comfort in playing Doom with friends. That's what this is all about, right? Offering comfort, support, fun and gaming are all key elements of our community. We all play games for different reasons. Some of us are driven to compete. Some are seeking a community. Many are escaping from stressful lives. Suplex and many others like him are fighting for theirs.

We reached out to Suplex. We asked if we could give to him or to his family. American dollars really add up in Egyptian pounds. He politely declined. In his stead, he asked that we give to the same organization that has supported him in his time of need, that they may continue helping other children suffering from debilitating and often fateful diseases. He chose the Egyptian Cure Bank, so that is who we will support this year.

The Arena FPS Community knows no borders. We do not care about your nationality, your faith, your government or your source port. We support each other. That is the will of Cthalha."

Warfork Update #1

Hey all,

We apologize for being so quiet lately, but a substantial amount of time has been put into planning, bringing volunteers on board, and getting things off the ground. Please understand that the total concurrent players will remain low as we're not marketing the game in Early Access. Our goal is to complete the features mentioned in the Early Access FAQ and release in ~January 2020. In the meantime here is a very small update to address some key issues and feature requests.

Note: Server owners please enable automatic updates on your servers. If anyone is looking for an updated server to play on please connect to the forbidden.gg ones.

:: Changes from 2019.08.16 to 2019.10.09

General:
- Added Damage Numbers which can be customized in Options.
- Updated placeholder sounds. Most of the sounds were converted from stereo into mono to make them work correctly in 3D space. Also their volumes were adjusted and normalized in order to avoid clipping and make them more balanced to each other. Some sounds were reworked and swapped to make more the sense. And last but not least, hitsounds are now variable depending on the damage.
- Replaced weapons placeholder sounds with new WIP (Work in Progress) sounds. Note: Please comment with feedback below to help us improve the sounds.
- It is now possible to switch to OpenAL sound module on Windows, as it gets preinstalled by Steam on the game installation.
- Allowed bots to bunnyhop in every gametype.
- Updated localizations, overall translated text has been increased for 50% by our volunteers from Transifex.
- Updated and fixed HUDs.
- New Zoom effect.
- Added a basic flash window highlight if someone mentions your name.
- Added a new countdown message.
- Critical Effect disabled by default for new players. Note: Existing players should disable it in Options.
- PNG Screenshot support added. Removed TGA screenshot support. If you wish to take a jpg screenshot use Steam.
- Fix callvote cooldown on votes that never started.
- The intro video will no longer attempt to play upon launching the game the first time.
- Added maps wfca2, wfctf5, wfdm20, wfdm3, wfdm8. Updated wftutorial1 (map description) and wfamphi1's ceiling.
- The console will now display a maximum of 3000 lines instead of 500, which allows commands such as "cvarlist" to be executed and read fully.

Engine:
- Fixed an issue with messing system mouse sensitivity/accel on Windows. Please check that you have "in_dinput" cvar set to 1 via console or config.cfg.
- Don't force team models for local player in-game & while watching demos.
- Change rocket explosion & projectile lights' color to orange.
- Allowed "crouch" animation being shown to others while player model is in the air.
- Set minimum "cl_pps" to 40 to prevent possible warping.
- Disabling weapon animation doesn't remove its fire animation now.
- Set win_nowinkeys 1 by default.
- Increased max Zoom FOV value to 75.
- Fixed model shading issues.
- Added blue dynamic light for Grenade projectile.
- Added LG marks when it hits the wall.
- Positional sounds of respawn, tele-in, tele-out fixed
- Added cg_showCrosshairDamage (0 off - 1 on) to prevent crosshair color changing upon causing damage to an opponent (1 is set by default).
- Servers instantaneously appear on the masterserver list instead of taking 5 minutes
- Specifying 0 as a value for scr_conspeed will result in the console toggling instantly.
- Shorter default time for g_vote_electtime from 40 to 20 seconds.
- Run at fixed maxfps=60 if disconnected
- Fixed callvotes with g_inactivity_maxtime 0

Attention Gameserver Hosts

Hey all in case anyone didn't notice, we released the preliminary version of our automatic server update tool for Warfork. We ask that you please read the following guide and update your server accordingly:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1845533691

If you don't wish to read a guide, there is a three command installation option, which can be used on a freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) or Debian 10 (Buster) server:

1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/psymin/wf_tool/master/wfwrapper.sh
2. chmod +x wfwrapper.sh
3. sudo ./wfwrapper.sh

This tool will deploy a Warfork server with some reasonable defaults. It should automatically check for updates and apply them without interruption for players.

Please update your server by Thursday to prevent any Warfork game updates from causing player connection issues. If you have any questions or want to help improve the script please ask psymin#5190 on Discord.

Beta "DLC" added to the Steam Store

If you're interested in what we're experimenting with checkout the Warfork Beta DLC here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1145510/Warfork_Beta/

Currently there's no files available as we're working on our Development Roadmap, however when there is you'll see an update on Steam. This Beta does not represent the current state of the game and is used for experimentation only. There might even be times where it doesn't launch due to bugs.

Once downloaded you can find the Beta build by right clicking Warfork -> Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files. Look folder a named /beta/ and the launch the game manually.

If this is inconvenient you can add a launcher to Steam Library with the following steps:

1. Click the Games drop-down tab.
2. Click "Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library".
3. Browse to the correct binary:

Windows: \steamapps\common\fvi\beta\Warfork.app\Contents\Resources\warfork_x64.exe

Linux: \steamapps\common\fvi\beta\Warfork.app\Contents\Resources\warfork.x86_64

Mac: \steamapps\common\fvi\beta\Warfork.app\Contents\MacOS\Warfork

For Mac you might need to use the following command "install_name_tool -add_rpath @executable_path/../Frameworks Warfork" in the location above.

4. Click Add Selected Programs
5. Launch Warfork Beta via your Library.

Source Code available on Steam

You can now download the Warfork Source Code on Steam by clicking Tools and installing "Warfork SDK". At the moment there aren't any guides included by us, but our goal is to do so in the future. This repository will be updated after each Steam update where the source code was modified. If you're looking for a GitHub url that will be available shortly as well.

Update: For anyone confused you will need to right click Warfork SDK, click properties, click local files, and browse local files in order to access the contents.

Music Composer selected

We're proud to announce "Ava1anche" of AN Music has been selected as our music composer. He will replace all existing in-game music, which makes us extremely happy because we're not proud of it. Ava1anche has composed some wonderful music for Xonotic and Unreal Tournament 4 and we can't wait to showcase his work once he gets started. You can check out his portfolio here: https://soundcloud.com/deshaadman

Mac: to ~/Library/Application Support/Warfork-2.1/basewf/
Linux: ~/.local/share/warfork-2.1/basewf/

Our radio silent release

We just want to thank everyone for their patience over the past week. Warfork is now officially available on Steam for Windows, Linux, and Mac. Over the next 2-3 weeks we will be having conversations on Discord ( https://discord.gg/VY95TKZ ) about how we can make the game new and unique. We urge everyone interested in the game to participate so your needs can be addressed. Quake-esque derivatives come and go quite often, but we hope to work on this project for many years down the line as a labor of love.

Note: We are in need of sound and music designers as they are currently placeholders.

Our preliminary objects are as follows:

- Modernize the engine
- Make the game mod-friendly and Steam Workshop friendly.
- Establish our own visual style in-game (weapons, models, sounds, music and textures).
- Give people a reason to come back with matchmaking and weekly events.
- Establish a friendly community of fellow AFPS lovers.

You can read additional preliminary information here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/671610/discussions/0/1642044369665491493/

Please report bugs here:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/671610/discussions/0/2763442118810332072/

Please note we will not be doing any marketing until the game leaves Early Access and we have something new and unique to showcase. We fully expect the player count to fluctuate.
