# Features & Fixes
**Published 10/27/2025**
If you've been following the [development updates on Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2127350/view/539993196499829238), *Journey Express* continues to get closer to a build that I consider solid enough for Early Access! There have been dozens of feature additions, bug fixes, and changes across all aspects of the game. My current focus is playtesting to ensure **at minimum** there is **generally balanced difficulty**, **no major bugs**, and fundamental end-to-end **functionality for all essential mechanics**.
One fun addition are the new random events that can occur while traveling. Previously, there were only **5** implemented, but there are now **12**! Among the new additions are events that can inflict the flu, the common cold, and — because of course — dysentery!
