ADACA Beta 0.15.5 DevLog (Now with three Guns!)
We have come a LONG way since Spring 2020 when I started work on ADACA!
The finish line is in sight for the 1.0 Steam release!
But first, a LOT of play testing needs to be done on what will hopefully be the final Beta build!
What's in said build you might ask?
Well just a 99% feature complete video game, that's what:
