A0.884 Beta Build Released on Steam

There were too many bugs with last week’s build, by the time we fixed most of the bugs it was Wednesday, so we went ahead and merged it with this week’s build. For the next week, we’re focusing on fixing/adding digging, building (trying to simplify some of the operations), VTOL, forest AI, colony trading post, and UI.

We’ve also started work on Coop Story Mode, which is pretty much one of the most wanted from players. This will take about 2 months (or sooner). We’re also working on using FMOD for all the sound effects, this will take much longer, but from some tests, this will be very good for our game.
