This game promises so much, but I've noticed an alarming lack of submarines!
This looks like a really great game but it's a shame it will take so long to create...
Would love to get it done sooner, but ya know.. work, kids, life.. Submarines, though.. alarming indeed, good point! Noted! :)
Atleast you did the planet thing OwO
I'm getting there :) Give it a few more months and we're rolling, promise.
Nice to see an official update here =).
