by early next month you mean june and not may.
i think if some read the date they might expect may but that just seem improbable from the rest you have written.
Viewing post in Devlog #1 - Lots and Lots of Work comments
My intent is for this month! Time will tell as the weekends allow the most work, but things are progressing smoothly. I may need to issue a private release first to see if there are any outstanding bugs/issues, but I'm also trying to prepare tools that are available to everyone (debug settings) in the event of a worst case scenario.
Modding tools at this stage are done and exported mods appear to be loading correctly into the game (appear as in I've verified this from an engine build, not a shipped one yet).
Now I'm handling some audio and UI bits. Ideally early May, but may become mid May. This month remains my target, however!
