Dear players,
How do you do!
On this quiet night, I picked up my pen and wrote this letter, filled with emotion and anticipation in my heart. As an independent game producer, our team embarked on a journey full of challenges and charm with an infinite love and dream for games. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to share some of my emotional journey with you and hope to receive your understanding and support.
The path of research and development is not easy and precious
Looking back, from the initial creative sprouts to the current presentation of finished products, each step has condensed the team's countless efforts and sweat. We have discussed, modified, and optimized countless times in the late night light, just to create a game world that can touch your heart. In this process, we encountered technical difficulties and struggled with creative bottlenecks, but it was our persistent pursuit of gaming art that allowed us to persevere. We always believe that only by truly loving can we create works with a soul. Therefore, when we see the faces that smile because of our games, all the hardships turn into immense happiness and satisfaction. Here, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all players who enjoy our game. It is your encouragement and support that have given us the motivation to continue moving forward.
The pain of piracy, the pain of the heart
However, behind this joy, we also have to face a cruel reality - the problem of piracy. With the release of the game, we have found that some players have chosen illegal ways to experience our work, which undoubtedly brings us great harm. Every game is the crystallization of team wisdom, the result of countless days and nights of hard work. Piracy not only deprives us of the rewards we deserve, but also dampens our creative enthusiasm. We are well aware that in order to survive in this fiercely competitive market, we must rely on the legitimate support of players. Therefore, we earnestly request every gamer who loves games to respect our hard work, choose genuine versions, and jointly maintain a healthy and orderly gaming environment.
In confusion, seeking direction
Faced with piracy issues and market uncertainty, our R&D team has also fallen into deep confusion. We don't know what the next path is, whether to continue sticking to ourselves or making compromises to adapt to the market? We are afraid of losing our pure love for games and also worried about not being able to bring more excellent works to players. But it is precisely this confusion that has strengthened our original intention. We believe that as long as we maintain our love and persistence in games, one day we will be able to find our own sky.
Here, I also want to say to all players: Thank you for your constant companionship and support. No matter how bumpy the future road may be, we will carry your expectations and blessings and move forward courageously. At the same time, we also hope to explore and grow together with you, and create a better gaming world together.
Finally, may our game continue to accompany you through every happy time. Looking forward to meeting you again in that magical gaming world in the near future.
Good luck!
