After two years of delay, dealing with a multitude of issues in real life and in development, we are finally starting the penultimate step towards the release
The road was really rocky, and it seemed it wouldn't ever arrive, but we have finally in our hands a version stable enough, for the closed beta to begin.
New HMG1 model / Driveable Zuk van
In the case someone missed our previous article, here’s a recap on what are the goals of the closed beta:
Diving / Improved Points Transfer feature
While we are beginning to select the first candidates from a closed pool, there are three tester roles, which can be applied to by the public freely:
We don’t have a fixed range of dates of how long should last the beta, and when the preparatives for the release should begin. Hopefully, we will not face many issues during it, so on the worst case scenario, it doesn’t take us longer than half a year to actually begin the final countdown towards the release.
Umizuri / Stitches 02
Unfortunately, not everything is good news: Early this year, we had to say goodbye to KittopiaCreator, as he retired from Source modding, due to several real life issues affecting him. We are thankful for his great work done on the mod, and we wish him the best of luck in life.
This meant that our development speed decreased even more, although thankfully he completed his tasks before leaving, so we weren’t impacted much by his leave.
However, this could complicate things at a later time for the release. As a such, we are especially seeking new programmers to aid us with tweaking and solving issues found during the beta. Of course, we also have other open positions, like level designers or 2D artists. And one time contributors are accepted as well.

We hope that things goes smoothly from here, so we will keep all of you communicated about the progress through our Discord server and the Steam store page. With luck, we shall release this year!
Happy Pride month!
