Hey everyone!
It’s hard to believe, but it’s only been one and a half month since launch - and thanks to you, we’ve already passed thousands of copies sold!
Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Every single one of you who played the game, sent feedback, shared a funny moment, or just told a friend - you’ve helped shape the game into what it is today. 🖌️
Today, I’m beyond excited to finally release Update 0.3.0 - Part 1, the first half of our biggest update yet! Part 2 will be launched sometime this week. I need a few more days to complete the new employees.
