  Upcoming plans and updates

  Hello, Identifilers! It has been an incredible journey since our EA launch in November last year, and we wanted to take a moment to provide an update on what is happening behind the scenes. First and foremost: we hear you. Since our last update, we have been busy collecting every bit of player feedback, bug reports and quality of life suggestions you've sent our way. We are currently in the process of analyzing and implementing changes based on your feeback. The first big patch will include balancing, EXE reworks, UI refinements and quality of life changes. Content updates are also on the way like new cursors and items. We're planning to create a beta testing branch for Identifilers that would like to play and give feedback on the update before we release it to the general public. Our Discord channel is the best place to know when this will be out so please feel free to join! You can also stay updated on our progress, suggest new features, report bugs and chill with the devs :D Join the Discord here! Your insights are the most valuable tool in our development process, and we can't thank you enough for being so vocal and passionate about Identifile. A little about us: Hey we're Calipao and Sylver, we're two fresh graduates passionate about creating games, and Identifile is our very first commercial release.

If you would like to be the first to find out what he's making you can follow @sylver_dev on X! We've been taking care of ourselves too.
