Ahoy, space-huntsman! After a little over a year of development, we've finally made it! From game jam to Early Access, we've come a long ways and we're thankful for everyone that's supported us along the way. We added several new items and features, but spent most of this past week really polishing the build by fixing a ton of bugs and balancing several AI, items, and mechanics. Thanks to all of our early beta testers for helping us make this Early Access build a fun and stable one. :)
