In a surprisingly long 2016 recap post, The Black Death team talks about the survival sandbox’s development journey to date and everything that it had accomplished over the past year.

One of the new things that the team is working on is assembling a “Champion’s Council” of players who are particularly interested in the game and want to provide feedback to the devs.

The game is growing by leaps and bounds as evidenced by some of the statistics presented in the post. As of late December 2016, The Black Death had 10,101 resources, 105 human NPCs, 274 animals, 62 named areas, and 18 regions. The team also posted an infographic showing the interest and growth of its community, which you can see after the break.
