Another quick update to let everyone know that the Kickstarter for Xenonauts-2 has entered its final three days. You can see it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/69341191/xenonauts-2-strategic-planetary-defence-simulator/
It's been very successful, so huge thanks to anyone that backed us - we asked for £50,000 and were fully funded in 8 hours, and we're now well over 300% funded!
Some cool stretch goals have already been unlocked (like weapon attachments and locational injuries in combat) and we're hoping to hit the next one at 400% which involves us giving extra support to the Community Edition and modding teams that created such great extra content for everyone in the first Xenonauts (although the game will still be moddable even if we don't get there).

Anyway, if you're interested in the sequel then this is your last chance to grab some of the Kickstarter-exclusive rewards - e.g. putting yourself in the game as a soldier with a custom name, nationality and portrait made with our portrait editor is £35 and 1700 people have already done so!
I should also mention that there's been some quite productive community discussions since the Kickstarter began on some of the design decisions we've made (some of which were raised in the comments of our last Steam update).
It's really useful to hear people's opinions at this stage of development when we still have time to change things, and we've been looking at how we can achieve what we want to achieve with the new systems without taking away stuff from Xenonauts 1 that people like. This is the first time people have seen our full plans for the sequel and it's good to get feedback on the ideas we've come up with!
