Hey!
We’ve been quite busy lately and finally have some more news to share :)
We have a release date - on 20th November we will share a slice of the game that hopefully will resonate with you and carve some nice memories!
If you’d like to try it early, we’re also opening a Public Playtest in the next few days. Follow us so you don't miss it! Your feedback will help us polish things up before the demo release - and we’d love to hear what you think!
Time flies and looking back we have to admit - we're definitely more comfortable making the game than talking about it 😅 So we'd like to share a few glimpses of what’s been happening these past months:
6-months progress we made since we dusted off our old prototype:
Orbital Sneak Peak - some of the new stuff coming to the orbits:
More cool stuff that's heading your way... choo choo...:
And a little chaos - trains took a big chunk of our time and sanity recently - stress testing was fun though:
Thanks for sticking with us and keeping an eye on the project — we can’t wait to share our game with you all soon!
Jarek & Jacek
