https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGCkp0EPCJ8 We're getting closer to our big 1.0 release. Therefore we're spending a lot of time bugfixing the game and generally wrapping up existing features or improving their readability. Its crazy to think that it has been over one year on Early Access now. Alpha 30 will be our last alpha update. After that we'll announce the release date for the 1.0 version. There will be more updates after hitting 1.0 of course, but we want to make sure that that version is as bugfree, stable and tuned as humanly possible.
