  Development Update

  Hey everyone,It’s been a long time since the last update, and I wanted to finally break the silence.Over the past couple years, a lot has changed internally with the project and I’ve transitioned into continuing development solo. Instead of pushing out rushed updates just for the sake of activity, I’ve been taking time to reevaluate the direction of the game and what I truly want it to become long-term.The goal moving forward is simple: build a better, more polished experience that fully delivers on the original vision rather than forcing quick patches or unfinished features out the door.I know it’s been quiet for a while, but I genuinely appreciate everyone who wishlisted, purchased, followed the project, or simply checked in over time. It means more than you probably realize.More updates will come when I’m ready to properly show the direction things are heading.Thanks for sticking around.
