Hope everyone`s enjoying the long Easter weekend!
With today`s patch 0.0.8 we focused on bug fixes, and polishing gameplay. To that extend we have fixed over half of the major issues reported by our players. We expect to handle all of the remaining bugs with the two following patches.
In addition, we started including features from our first player vote. While upgraded to pathfinding and combat will take us a few more days to implement, we`ve included fog of war.
And we have a big surprise for you next week, an awesome feature that we hope you love, and that fundamentally changes the gameplay.
