Central Planning is in a state of frenzied activity at the moment. The sudden influx of game players into SteamPunkHockeyopolis has turned the quaint village of Heigh-Dephanitian into a bustling seaport of culture and competition.
To support and interest our new arrivals, fellows in Mechanics are giving the standard paddle mechanism new upgrades, and Planning is remapping Heigh-D so as to unfetter traffic and rivalry.
The Futurists are nowhere to be seen, indicating they’ve recognized their time has come, and not a moment to lose!
Rest assured the cogwheels are in motion to deliver you, gentle player and SteamPunkHockeyoplian, new features and gameplay.
