Good day folks!

It's with great pleasure that we finally get to announce this big release. We already mentioned the robot alien ship mission completely redone from scratch. I could write a couple of paragraphs about our own observations and how we enjoyed it while building and testing, but i'd rather not spoil the surprise for others. Wink

A lot of work was done under the hood as well. Mainly focussed around improving maintainability en flexibility in dealing with items, loot, rewards etc. And also a couple of reported bugs, glitches and annoyances were taken care of. All in all a nice package that we don't want to keep you folks waiting for any longer. Wrapping thing up with some notes for the die hards. See you on the other side!
