We are planning to have a playtest at the end of the month. This new playtest will be getting us another step closer to release. We will be testing some new features as well to see if we find any new bugs. The last playtest was quite successful in the sense of problems found and fix. We released the original crafting and weapon skill system but ran into countless bugs that made it not work properly. We have since squashed those bugs and continued working on other aspects of the game. We also had our logo redone completely due to a copyright issue that could pop up from the old one.
Here is the new logo.
The goal is to release in June. There isn't a set date yet but June is the goal.
