Hello. Yes the game is in active early development.
Ensure you are using the latest version (0.16) and check the info in the bottom-left corner. If it reads "Error getting server version" it might indicate a firewall issue blocking internet access.
Both attempting to change firewall settings & temporarily disabling firewall do not seem to make a difference.
Using a VPN seems to be a solution, thanks for your time.
Since the VPN fixed it, it’s likely a routing issue between your ISP and our current server location.
This is an issue that will be resolved in the future.
