Good evening. You're listening to Throofs ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakney.

Joining me today is Mohawk Games founder, Soren, welcome to the show.

Hey, Rob. Good to be here.

So today we're going to be talking about your debut game with Mohawk, correct?

And after a lengthy time in early access, I think we did our first show on this

well over a year ago, you're finally bringing out a finished product that is quite a bit different from what we originally talked about on the show all those all those ages ago

soren you know catch us up a little bit how has how has off world trading company sort of evolved and changed

you kind of see the basic ideas.
