Beta Week 2 Patch (Version 51)

The big news this week is Steam keys are now available for you to redeem. The game is not yet public on Steam, but you can activate your key and download and play the game through Steam right now. Or stay here and use the Itch app, up to you :)

Attrition is 80% off for just a few more hours so get the word out, or maybe gift a copy to a friend?

Reminder as well that where we focus our work on the game at this stage is user-driven. Want to see a particular feature or bugfix? Want a Mac or Linux version? Let us know!

Here are the patch notes for this week:
