What is currently being worked on?[]
Deep North[]
The next and last major big update will be the release of the last biome, Deep North. It will mark the official release of the game version 1.0 and the end of early access. Only minor update can be expected after 1.0.
Our plan with 1.0 is that the game will be finalized when it comes to the game designed content. We plan to add achievements and we dont want those to change over time. So doing a change on early - mid - late game is played will not change after 1.0
