- We're Still Alive! - 26 April 2024
Hi All, Just wanted to say that this project is still being actively developed and we're pretty close to being done. It's a big game, especially considering the size of the team. The script has about 100,000 words in it and it's not necessarily a text focused game. The game testers are really enjoying the feel of the gameplay and with all the different classes, subclasses, and weapons we think the game will have a good amount of replay value! We're not ready to set a release date, but it's coming! Please stay tuned. If you'd like to chat with us about the game, feel free to join the Discord: https://discord.gg/SpBEwrkdx4 - Black Seven
