Please note that the maintenance can be extended beyond the abovementioned timeframe. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope everyone has had a great year and is now enjoying some down time & christmas pudding.

I was hoping to have 1.13 released by December 9th which was Wyoming Winter's 2nd birthday on Steam however I have a lot of other work to be doing which has slowed progress so it is looking more like a January release date just like 1.12 which released this past January.

Going into the new year and looking at future updates I think I will attempt to cut down on the amount of work I am doing in each update to get them out more frequently as these yearly updates are a bit far between.

Anyway I hope everyone is looking forward to 1.13, lots of new content and areas to explore.

Once again I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year :)

Cheers,
ValleyHound
