Future updates.

Right now there is only one chapter of the main story in the game and many people ask us to add the second one. We are working on it, and you can expect it at the beginning of March, there will be new characters and new types of tasks.

Dedicated servers — the team is working on making them available for players soon. Next week we plan to start a test server to check for any problems and performance issues. When it is ready we will host several official servers for players.

20 new recipes — with the new chapter we will add 20 new recipes with a unique weapon modification which will only be available during main story event.

Lightning and sky — we see that many of our players are not satisfied by the existing lightning and day/night cycle. We are already working on a new version of it.
