Upcoming features

This page is about features that have been announced by official game developers.

1.0.6
The developers are currently scheduling 1.0.6 to be released "early next week".

The version was originally going to be called 1.1 as it was such a game changing update, but the idea was dismissed as the developers wanted 1.1 to be a more major game content update, similar to an MMO expansion.
