Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Alpha test so far! We’ve had some great feedback and finds from you. Robin’s back to the day job now so work on Van-14 will be a little slower, but he's got the time management thing nailed. We’re full of ideas and there’s a lot being improved upon for the next build. Here’s a little list of some of the things we’re focused on right now:

• Bug fixes (of course!)
• Optimisation for older hardware (limited a bit by UE5 as an engine but doing our best!)
• Upgrade drafting mechanics
• Building lore and levels
• UI overhaul (hoping to improve the experience for mouse+keyboard folks!)

No timeframe yet obviously, but we'll let you know as soon as we know, y'know?  Here’s hoping the next build will be even more fun the the first!  If you missed out on an Alpha slot this time around, go ahead and send an email to van14.devs@gmail.com anyway; we're building our lists for further testing when it comes time for that.  Remember to check out the Discord linked at the bottom of the game page.  

Thanks again, see you next time!  We'll leave you with a few updated screenshots:

Changes to lighting (both for mood and optimisation) and reworked backgrounds.  Early days yet, but steadily pushing forward!
