Tether: Curse of Slimus is launching in Early Access with a complete core gameplay loop and a tightly scoped world designed for rapid iteration and expansion. The current version is fully playable, optimized, and focused on refining combat, progression, and system interactions through real player feedback.
Throughout Early Access, I plan on continuing to grow with new maps, mechanics, minigames, bosses, and world systems. Development is guided by a public roadmap, and updates will steadily expand the world toward a more connected, semi–open structure.
