Personal Note
Thank you so much for your patience, I genuinely appreciate it. This update has taken a lot of time, but it marks my step toward showing you all that I truly want the best possible outcome for the game. It’s an accumulation of all your feedback and reviews. I’ve done my absolute best to build a stronger foundation that impacts the entire game. I’ve been working around the clock this past month to wrap everything up, but if you encounter any issues, please let me know and I’ll fix them as soon as possible. The reason I’ve been gone for so many months is because this wasn’t, as I mentioned before, a regular update, it was a complete rebuild of the game’s foundation. Releasing smaller updates in between just wasn’t possible, as it was practically like making a brand-new game while using the old one as a base. However, with all these new systems in place, I’ll finally be able to release consistent updates going forward
Cheers,
Patrick
