🌊Hello, it's Merlin's Attic from the Dorasyeoda development team.
We are writing to you today as a developer letter to give you an honest update on the development of the full release version and the state of the team.
On update timing and game completeness
First, we'd like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for their patience and support.
Merlin's Attic is an indie game development team that started out as a college game club, and most of us were college students who had never made a game before. "Dorasyeoda" was the first challenge for the Merlin's Attic team and its members, so we tried our best to respond to the love and support we received.
However, during the long development process, some team members became unable to work as before due to their own circumstances and livelihoods, and others were unable to join the team. As a result, the process of recruiting new people and continuing the existing work took longer than expected, and the greed to quickly catch up with the lost time led to another decrease in completion.
Greed for our first game and inexperience in running a team led to this outcome, but even with these reasons aside, we sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the slow updates and the disappointment caused by the lack of completeness of the game.
On future development plans
Merlin's Attic never gives up, and we promise to get back to work and make it even better.
After the release of the Early Access version, we realized our inexperience and revisited "Dorasyeoda". We believe it's important to get our act together so that we don't disappoint you again, so we're currently in the process of thoroughly reviewing and revising our shaky foundation.
We apologize again for the delayed update. This is a result of our desire to make sure we don't make the same mistakes we've made in the past, and that better quality is far more important than slower. Please have faith in the Merlin's Attic team, who are working tirelessly, and we'll do our best to reward you with a better game.
We're working hard to demonstrate that commitment, especially with the next big update, which will include some major improvements. We'll continue to honor this promise and refine it as best we can so that we can show off a more complete and engaging game that we're a little more proud of.
As part of this effort, we'll be attending PlayX4 this May 23-26(in KOR) to collect and incorporate valuable feedback in person, so we can use it to make the game even better.
At Merlin's Attic, our number one goal is to bring you joy with "Dorasyeoda", and we're working hard to achieve that goal. As promised, we'll continue to make slow but steady progress to ensure that "Dorasyeoda" lives up to your expectations.
Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you for your love and patience with our game.
Thank you for being a part of Merlin's Attic's journey.
Thank you.
Sincerely, Merlin's Attic Devs.
