Wishlists are pouring in and they are in the thousands, thank you all so much for all the support and enthousiasm around my game! Looking forward to hearing from you all on the discord server too.
The pre-alpha is set to release on the 30th of this month (June 2026) and I couldn't be more excited! I can't wait for you to get your hands on the early version of the game. The game is very barebones still but the pricing will reflect that. Price will be public a couple days before release date.
The workload as a solodev around the release date is insanity. Luckily it's a passion project, so I am very into all the tasks in front of me. Bare with me, more posts incoming. Socials have videos and images posted every week, come check them out! It's already been a long journey and there is a lot more to go. Thank you for all the support <3
