- March 2016 - Massive Engine Upgrade in Alpha - 28 March 2016
We are currently working on some BIG changes to the underlying game code. This will not add new content, but it will affect the gameplay/strategy, along with changing a lot of technical bits enough that people who had problems with the game in the past may be able to run it in the future. At the moment, these changes are INCOMPLETE and available only to those who intentionally opt into the alpha, which is being updated as we test and work out more details. You can get more information on the current status of the update here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/269010/discussions/0/392184522708285017/ Further announcements will be posted when the new update moves to beta and then to live.
