More Apollo4x Community News!
Hey to the 4x'ers, Raccoon here, and today I've got some more news about the Apollo4x community and what we're planning on doing. Live Q&A The team will be hosting a live Q&A session on July 7th at 5:00 PM EST. So be sure to tune in! You can learn more about it here Tradi

Live Q&A The team will be hosting a live Q&A session on July 7th at 5:00 PM EST. So be sure to tune in! You can learn more about it here
Trading Cards You may be asking yourself, "Where did the trading cards go? It's been weeks!" We've also been asking ourselves that, and as it turns out we never submitted them for review! We apologize and would like to remind you that they'll be heading out by the end of the week.
Cloud Saves For the past month, our AWESOME and I mean AWESOME community moderators and dedicated Apollo4x fans have been testing out the Cloud Saves feature, and we're happy to announce that it'll be available to everyone by the end of the week as we tweak a few things.

The DigiEnt and Dog Rescue Charity
I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone about The DigiEnt and Dog Rescue Charity. While not many people may know this, a whole 10% of all profits from the game will go to rescuing sheltered dogs that would be killed without the super cool DigiEnt president Mike Young flying out and moving them to Non-kill shelters. Thanks guys!
That's it from the Apollo4x team for this week!
See you in the community,
The Raccoon
