Donations:<\/strong><\/h1>\n
A big thank you to everyone who has made a donation your support makes this endeavor much easier and I love hearing all the positive feedback about your appreciation for Lunar Flight.<\/div>\n
While I have already purchased the Unity Pro License the ongoing funds are being used to purchase software to help with Lunar Flights development.<\/div>\n
In particular I am using $300 to purchase Ludosity<\/a> which will make integration with Steamworks much easier. This is under the assumption that Valve will approve Lunar Flight for sale on Steam.<\/div>\n

Media Attention:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

SimHQ<\/a> probably the largest dedicated website for all things simulation oriented featured and excellent Preview<\/a> of Lunar Flight.\u00c2\u00a0The article generated allot of interest in Lunar Flight for which I am very grateful.

The Escapist<\/a> also had nice little write up about the Beta Trailer as well here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

Update on the Beta Release:<\/strong><\/h1>\n
The Beta build featured in the Beta Trailer<\/a> is coming soon. I estimate 2 weeks with an aim to release it before XMas.\u00c2\u00a0It features quite allot of new content and polish but there is still some remaining work I need to complete before it is ready.\u00c2\u00a0This will be the build I submit to Valve for Steam publishing approval hence why it is critical that everything is in place.<\/div>\n
