CD-ROM's Previous Delays
Hi everyone!I'm here to inform Steam Community about the CD-ROM's recent delays. Yesterday we had a conversation on my Discord group and i should inform you here too.I realized an issue with the CD-ROM's latest build very close to release date. Since release date couldn't be changed, I delayed the game 3 days in total without the final build ready.This is the reason why previous delays didn't work.I'm currently working on it and it should be ready within few days. Once the final build is ready and uploaded to Steam, I'll post a release date. It'll be a day later of uploading the final build.I'm sorry for this bad experience. I increased the launch discount to %20 because of the delay.Thanks everyone for their interest, love and good wishes. CD-ROM will be ready very soon. Have a nice day and fun!Read full article on Community Announcements (MyLord)
