Digital Tribe has announced that the Xbox Live Indie Game smash hit FortressCraft is now on Steam Early Access, with an official release date coming in March 2014. The PC version is dubbed FortressCraft Evolved. The Minecraft-style game will cost just $5.99 USD, which is 60% off the proposed full launch price.
According to the developer ProjectorGames, the Evolved version features new tech, with better building tools.

I want to provide players with the best tools I can to create and share anything their imagination can muster!”
