Latest Steam announcements

• Build 137. - 30 June 2018

  Fixes Had to cut the wind feature entirely to prevent serious stability issues. Weapon saves are enabled again. Opening the options menu while having the inventory open no longer brakes the inventory. Removed a weapon perk that was a remnant of the old battle system.

• Build 136 [beta]. - 29 June 2018

  Uploaded to the beta branch. Fixes Constrains to wind movement time in the western desert. The old wind effect system was sometimes causing some serious errors and hopefully this brings better stability to the game. Improvements to the "End Turn" button functions. Fixed some errors related to the deer. Please note that weapons are currently not saved in beta build 136! Thank you for playing and experimenting with the builds!

• Build 135. - 20 May 2018

  Fixes Added a 100 millisecond delay for items spawning in the inventory to avoid any possible visual glitches. Camera reset function disabled during walking to prevent moonwalks. "The End" screen added.

• Name change. - 9 August 2017
