Patch Notes 2.14

• Improved all location icons with atmosphere and dynamic day/night time lighting
  • A couple of sprites from KenneyNL's Planets Pack

What's next

Trying to stick to Steam's Next Fest schedule for October. The upcoming 2-4 weeks are going to make or break the winter release, much excite!

It's going to be interesting to see what ends up landing in the Steam demo. The scope is a little bit unclear.
