It has been a while since I've had that much time off the game, but I went through overstress and overwork, and I'm still recovering from the lasting effects.But slowly and steadily, I'm still doing some work – starting with the official website (www.battleforvega.com). It was time to adjust some of the design (especially on mobile), to finish up and update the roadmap now that the demo is out, to...
