The big deal this week is the introduction of a working in-game tutorial, the Hunternet Academy is accepting enrolment 
As with everything I will improve on the academy with time, but the fundamentals are there. New players (paper ants) will spawn in the academy instead of the hub. I'll be monitoring to see how well the current academy works. The time for us to get out of semi-stealth mode is approaching .
Cheers,
