March 2022 development update (Patreon)

Hi all!

It's been about a month since the last game patch, and many of you are probably wondering what's coming next.  We're working on some interesting content and wanted to give you a status update.  

Something that may not be obvious on the surface is that, behind the scenes, we are constantly swamped with tasks, most of which will pay off far in the future.  Just as an example, here are some of the things we've been busy with in the past month that won't be in the next game update:

- New vehicles
- Improved VFX
- Improved audio
- Multiplayer
- Additional voice lines
- Rendering optimizations
- Improved development pipelines
- Internal project management upgrades
- Additional hiring

And that's on top of working on the things that are going in the next update!  I foresee a similar or greater level of activity in our team from now until Steam early access release later in the year.  It will be quite a ride.

Speaking of the next update, we're thinking it will come out April 1st.  In the spirit of the date, the update will have several new things in it, some of which are direct expansions and improvements of the game's content, and others which are a bit unconventional but still great opportunities to test new features.  As for what, in particular, these things are - you'll have to wait and see!
