[b]Hello to members new and old![/b] As it’s been some time since we’ve had our last proper announcement – A fault we are taking strides to eradicate as we move forward – we’re still very much alive and working our hardest to continue development of Darkout (we aren’t giving up on this!). So we have had quite a bit of feedback from the community since we shared the current state of development with everyone and I want to thank all those who have stated their support and are spurring us along to get the project done. Here is a snippet of what’s in the latest patch. Just to note, this patch will focus on bug fixing and balancing. The next one will add some more content as well. As always you can check out the forums for full details on the patch!
