Hello dear friends!
Let’s talk a bit about Next Day, the team and what's going on.
So, Next Day is alive! We maintain the server online, update the anti cheating system and DO NOT PLAN to close the game. Everything works and will work for a long time!
Talking about the updates, Next Day have received all of them planned for the release moment, almost everything that we had planned to the release date was done.
This means the game is no longer in beta test, this is a full version. Everything has a beginning and an end, we cannot develop the game endlessly (unless we change the monetisation system to Free2Play with microtransactions). Making of of pre-release updates was very expensive, we added a lot of content and spent a lot of efforts and resources. The release has come, but we were unhappy with its results. .
Before proceeding with the development of any other major updates, time must pass, we need to understand how to allocate efforts and resources in the best way. The release of even one big update is an extremely costly process. For example, the development of the update of the “Dead Swamp” location took us over 3.5 months. During this period 5 people worked full time on it. Please understand, game development is not a hobby.
After the release, the main part of the team was transferred to other projects, but the development of the game is not over, we already have some plans, which we will tell you a little bit later. In a nutshell, we are planning at least 2-3 major updates, there are some plans for significant graphics improvements.
Dear friends, keep patience and wait a little bit! Thanks for your attention!
