Update #133: Build 13 Combat Preview Now Available

Now you can try what we’ve been busily working on for so many months.

This work in progress has 5 combat scenarios, each engaging enough to show the tactical depth we will bring to the finished game. See the full details on how to download the testing branch.

Update #132: Combat Build Next Week

The four of us have been working hard on Combat (Build 13) and a taste of it is coming next week!

Finishing the game design continues. Then we can decide by feature what we will: Keep, Free Update, DLC, and Cut.

Tough calls to make, but hey, if this were easy... Well if this were easy we'd be done already!
