Roadmap for Development (Official)
Hi guys,
We have to apologize that we haven't been very talkative in the last time and also that updates were stalling. In the latest past we've put all our efforts into manhandling our engine onto new systems - which has turned out as a heavier workload then predicted. With having Farmer's Dynasty at 0.98 we felt we're very close to the official launch - and we still are. Anyhow we feel you guys have deserved more content and regular updates again as you were supporting through the best of times and through the worst of times. Long story short, please find below the updated Roadmap for the rest of 2018. We might switch to 1.0. inbetween if we feel the time is right but be sure content comes rolling steadily your way again.
