Hello Crusties,
In the last few days, we have seen an overwhelming number of people joining our social channels, Discord, and playing our game. To all of our fans, new and old ones, we would like to say thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. Your support means a lot to our entire team.
Months prior to the release, we were working non-stop and overtime to deliver the best possible experience to all the fans of the genre and everyone who waited for the game's release. At some points, we even thought that once the game was released, we would be able to breathe again.
Well, we were wrong. It seems like the amount of work has now quadrupled, but all this overwhelming support keeps us going and keeps us motivated. You guys are amazing and awesome.
We will do our best to provide the best possible experience for you in our game and continue developing the game along with all of you and your suggestions. By the way, did you know that you can leave your suggestions on our website: https://idea.the-crust.com/? Once we take care of all the critical issues and bugs, we will start working on your ideas, and the most voted ones will be prioritized, of course. So make sure to leave your vote and feedback!
Now, we know that some of you have experienced issues with certain elements of the game, and we are doing our best to fix them as soon as possible. Some things take a little time to fix, but we will do our best to address all of them. Below, you can find the list of issues that we have already addressed and fixed:

If you experience an issue, please make sure to join our Discord and let us know about it (https://discord.gg/the-crust). We are doing our best to check every public source where we can be contacted, but when it comes from many different sources, it becomes a bit challenging to manage it all. We sincerely appreciate all your help, and we promise to do our best to address everything.
Also, if you enjoy the game, please consider leaving us a review. This is very important for us and for the game. Your voice matters! The more reviews the game has, the bigger reach it will get, and the more things it will allow us to add to the game in the future. We are committed to creating an amazing game, and we need your help along our journey.
