- Guards of the Gate V1.0 Released! - 30 January 2019
All things from the early acces roadmap is done and some more too (based on your ideas) and all known bugs and glitches are fixed. Special thanks to all Early Access players! I read all reviews, discussions you wrote and watched the most gameplay video you made. Your feedback and ideas was great help and support for me! I will try to fix all the future reported bugs and glitches as soon as possible, but bigger patches will come less frequently. I have already some mid and long-term content plan, but of course I still look forward your ideas too.
