Major Update Notice - December 20th (Fri)

Hello, Commanders!

We are currently working hard towards the goal of launching in the first half of next year. Along with various large and small improvements, we have prepared updates for the official release.

Unfortunately, we also have some disappointing news to share. Support for Spanish and Portuguese, which was previously provided through machine translation, has been discontinued. This decision was made because the quality was lower than we anticipated, and the production cost was high. We feel deeply sorry and regretful about this decision.

We will focus the saved resources on content development. Wishing you an early Happy New Year, and we look forward to seeing you next year. Thank you.
