Dear Judge,
We hope this message finds you well. We have an important update to share with everyone regarding the release of 'Lightracer: For Judge'. While we initially planned for a launch in the fourth quarter of 2024, we now anticipate releasing the game in the first half of 2025.
The primary reason for this delay is to ensure that 'Lightracer: For Judge' lives up to your expectations. With over 300,000 words of text and more intricate story branches and event impacts compared to its predecessor 'Lightracer Spark,' we find it necessary to take additional time for thorough testing and refinement. Our goal is to present the new Lightracer series installment in its best possible state, crafting a richer and more engaging science fiction experience just for you.
Moreover, our team has been diligently expanding the depth of the story. You may recall that the initial estimated word count for 'Lightracer: For Judge' was 250,000 words; however, we've since grown that number to an impressive 300,000 words. This expansion reflects our commitment to delivering a more comprehensive and immersive narrative.
While we understand how eagerly you await 'Lightracer: For Judge', we truly believe that this extra time will significantly enhance your gaming experience. As a token of our gratitude for your continued support, we're excited to announce an update to the demo version featuring two additional quarters of storyline content. If you're eager for more before the official release, feel free to dive into these latest demo updates right away!
Though our journey through the stars may be lengthy, we look forward with great anticipation to reuniting with you soon. Thank you all so much for your unwavering support and encouragement!
Warm regards,
