It’s the holiday season, which means Future Perfect development has slowed a little bit. Despite the end of year festivities, the team is still keeping progress ticking over. Here’s a look at some of the things that have been done recently. A few days ago, a new Steam update was released. If you own Architect Edition (Get it here), you will have received the update automatically.

Truth-be-told, we’ve still spent a good amount of time on features and bugs, but we’re not going to put out a new update this Friday. The daily build is still updating to the Steam “beta” branch, so you can still check that out if you’re itching to see what we’ve been up to (or take a look at Trello).…
