A0.89 Beta Build Released on Steam

We’re in the final stretch for a0.9, with this build we’ve added in a couple more key elements of that build, which are Story mode coop and the completion of all colony buildings. Right now we’re waiting on the completion of multiplayer custom maps and world editor story editing features, as well as several art assets for the story. Alien, Animal, and NPC behavior and animation will also see a significant upgrade before a0.9 comes out.
