As we have only one news:[b] today Diplomacy is Not an Option leaves Early Access[/b]. This means the long-awaited single-player Campaign has finally made its way to the game. The Campaign that has several plot branches and choices for you to make. It is your decisions that determine an ending of the “My Lord” and his friends' journey. Apart from that, we added Steam achievements and Twitch integration. Yet it's far from over. Not even close, as we do continue to develop and support the game. And we'll be back with more announcements and updates in the future. In the meantime, would you please welcome Diplomacy is Not an Option 1.0.! [previewyoutube=bLtUEwusK7w;full][/previewyoutube] Thank you for your faith in us and patience during all these years! But we don't stop working on the game with 1.0 release. We still have more to add - and our plans you can see in the roadmap below!
