Temporary Devlog for following progress: Days Of Despair 0.1.1 “Wild Frontier Update”:

This is clearly the biggest update ever made on this game, expect a huge delay with the current context and situation i’m being involved in but the waiting will worth it.

The reason is simple: The whole game is being reworked from the root to the tip, it’s going to be the Beta now. Also, I’m going through difficult times and it’s hurting both of my motivation and mental health. I’m trying to keep going on since it could be the “thing” that may save me.

(Will be updated over time) (Doesn’t concern the current available version) (Expect incompatibility with 0.0.4X saves)
