We’re currently in the clean-up period, fixing some last minute bugs and conducting internal play tests.

The dirt roads in Frostbite are a really nice detail, the map looks great so far. Being able to turn on the sink items is a great detail and I really like that you can change the drawers/cabinets on the kitchen counters. The new Virus achievement icons are a huge improvement, too. cool log ---

It’s kinda like playing the lottery. You pick numbers to bet on and the more you get or get close to I think the bigger your winnings. ---

I’ve never seen this before Keno’s fun. Essentially, you pick 20 numbers from the card and then 20 numbers get called out (kinda like bingo) and you get paid a different amount based on how many of your picked numbers match the called numbers.
