Hey all! It's been a while but the big work on local engine evaluation is currently in testing phase - the engine play is looking a lot stronger! It is not yet available but if anyone wants to opt-in for beta testing it let me know (just a warning, it is fully playable but still considered unstable) The patch is small, just a few changes to switch things up a bit. Once these big features are done gameplay content will be the primary focus. Merchant
