v. 0.8.8
Hello. This update brings balance and bugfixes. It also brings 3 new power-ups and changes the normal map target times to 20 minutes which I feel is the sweet spot.
[h2]The road to 1.0[/h2]
A big chunk of last week was spent on creating a new trailer since the existing one was from around the time Early Access started. I went with a pretty straightforward but action-packed gameplay video which you can find below or on the store page.

Speaking of Early Access, I initially estimated that to last for anything between 3-12 months. It's been now roughly 22 months so I really need to start looking for the finish line. The game has come a long way in this time and I'm quite happy where it currently stands so I feel confident wrapping things up.
I'll mostly be fine-tuning things from now on except for a final bigger content update. I'd be willing to work on updates beyond the final release but it depends a lot on how well it does. Your support in spreading the word during this time is much welcomed and appreciated.
FYI the game is now on sale for -25% so it's a good time to grab it. I will no longer be updating the demo version and have removed it as a download option.
