Thanks for all the kind words so far! This forum is so friendly :D

We're thinking that keeping all immediate questions to one thread will be good, then when we launch the Steam page and you see the trailer and more representative screens, we'll open things up and do proper official topics and such! Does that work for everyone? Let us know!

So to answer some of your great questions...

Map themes
There aren't plans for different skins for the maps at launch, but that's a cool idea and we're always happy to hear cool ideas! And yes, those screens you see on the KS update are work in progress.

Minimum specs
Nothing official from us yet, but nothing too egregious. The min specs will be available when the Steam page goes up. One of our objectives for this project is that we want as many people as possible to enjoy the game, so we've built the game accordingly.

Any further talks on a Mac/Linux port?
Probably not at launch. But if there's enough demand for it it'll be very high on our priority list. Also we've made games in the past with Mac and Linux versions, so read into that what you will ;)

What devices will you be able to play this game on? PC, console, phone, tablet, VR, direct brain implant?
No direct brain implant at launch I'm afraid ;)

We're launching on Windows PCs out the gate and making sure that it's right before considering other platforms. Mac and Linux is a possibility, as mentioned above. We've heard a few people say that tablets and consoles would be interesting to them, but that's not in the works at the moment as we want to stay focused.

Will you need an open internet connection to play the game?

You'll need a Steam account and everything that entails. But there's no bonkers DRM in there or anything like that.

And we certainly, for sure, 100% absolutely are not members of a shadowy group affiliated with the Illuminati, attempting to steal all your search history for nefarious reasons. No sir.
