Hello everyone, welcome back to another #FeatureFriday!

Well, the spring is ending and we are entering the summer, so you all must be asking when is the game coming into the Early Access, so let's begin with talking about the state of play and our release plans!

Last November while we were making the gameplay trailer, our plan was to finish the remaining tasks and enter the Early Access before the summer. However, a couple of events and happenings since that day made us decide to push the Early Access release;

1. Steam Next Festival was a great opportunity to collect feedback from a wide variety of Steam gamers even before the Early Access. Because of that event, we make several iterations in TFM's core systems, and now we have new systems, such as Paths, Crafts, Adaptations, Notifications, and Assignments. Implementing them and making related changes took a lot of time. Good thing is, TFM got much fun and a better game at the end, and right now all of these systems are working.
   
2. Even tho the feature lock has happened, we are still dealing with occasional bug-fixing, and adding more content to the game. Yes, we can do this during the Early Access too, however, there are real-life events are happening for us as well: Two members of our small team are gonna be attending mandatory military duty this June.
   
3. On top of everything, we really didn't want to risk everything. We are aware of the hype, and see many of you want to get your hands into the game as soon as possible. So as an alternative, we have expanded the options that you can participate in the Steam Playtest. You can learn more by joining our Discord Server. With your help during the playtest, and additional time until the Early Access release, we believe TFM will be much more fun with more content, and fewer bugs.

So, what now? What's next? This image contains a summary of events we have to watch and our goals;

• We will begin the playtest, and continue playing the game until the release.
  
• We should be avoiding the main events of Steam, and summer is the busiest season for those events.
  
• Steam doesn't let games attend more than one Next Festivals. Sadly we will not gonna be able to attend the next one, but we are super happy already because we've attended the previous one.
  
• We may take a small vacation as a team during the Next Festival since none of us took a break for 3 years. Considering the Early Access will be very busy, it would be a good opportunity to do so.
  
• Got the drafts ready for the release trailer! 6 weeks before the Early Access we will release the new trailer, and 4 weeks before we will announce the release date and start streaming gameplay videos.
  
• Right now, between the 15th and 19th of August looks like a good release window. But anything may happen or change. Just as said above, we will announce the exact date 4 weeks before it.

Thank you so much for understanding the situation, and for your support, with all of the participants we will make TFM a much better game.

Let's continue with this week's additions and celebrate our #FeatureFriday once again!

• Several new passion traits for the characters; Mystic, Tutor, Herbalist, Hermit, Brickmason, Stonemason, Potter, Glazier, Ironsmith, Iron Miner, Miller, Beekeeper, Baker, Shepherd, Dairyserf, Herdgroom, Magician, Philosopher, Painter, Bard, Actor, Sculptor, Skinner, Leatherworker, Tailor, Ritualist, Fowler, Pathfinder, Zookeeper, Druid, Acrobat, Clown, Game Designer, Gladiator, Juggler, Tavernkeeper, Fermenter, Steelsmith, Silversmith, Goldsmith, Blacksmith, Gardener, Vineyard Keeper, Silkfarmer, Bookbinder, Writer, Keeper, Sorcerer, Physician, Cobbler, Glovemaker, Jewelsmith, Woodcarver, Architect, Surgeon, Shaman, Alchemist, Poisonmaker, Botanist, Weaver, Metallurgist, Adamantium Miner, Adamantium Smith, Artificer, Engineer, Evoker, Beautifier.
