Hi friends!

This upcoming month will be characterized by “aggressive polishing” of Vidar in anticipation of Early Access. However, tomorrow we launch the Steam Store Page and a huge press blitz, so not a ton of development happened this week. A few little clean up items here and there, though, so I thought it merited a patch.

We’ve also finalized the Linux downloader - Kickstarter backers who game on Linux and don’t use Steam will finally be able to play the game. That brings us down to only those backers who were looking for something on itch or some other platform. We’ll have updates for them shortly.

Happy New Year!
Dean
