Hi! Thanks for this thread, we will be keeping an eye on it.
Not to dampen anyone's enthusiasm too much, I wanted to drop by and clarify something about our schedule: if everything goes as planned, we do not have a full year of new development time before 1.0, both because we actually hope to reach that milestone sometime earlier than a full year from now*, and because we cannot keep developing new things all the way until release – all releases require a testing and polishing phase, and this one more than any other before it.
So our "hands off" moment for the 1.0 release is coming almost sooner than we would like! With that in mind I'd like to temper your expectations a bit and repeat what we wrote on the blog[barotraumagame.com] last week: there will not be huge new additions before 1.0 besides certain key things, and those things will already keep us quite busy.
On the other hand, there will be updates after 1.0 that will add new features as well as fixes, if all goes well. More about those when the time comes!
With all that said, it is good to get some outside perspective on which things you think are important to iron out before our full release. So we will be reading!
*Please note that this is not an official statement, and I can't confirm any dates before we announce our release. Until then, no date is set in stone even though we are working towards a specific time frame.
