Hello everyone, this is the Clearing Blade development team.
First and foremost, although it is long overdue, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the players who have supported our game since its Early Access launch. We also sincerely apologize for the lack of update news over such a long period.
Today, we would like to speak honestly about the difficult circumstances our team is facing and our future plans.
Over the past year, our team has gone through significant internal changes and hardships. Along with the departure of key development personnel, we have faced a reality where maintaining consistent updates has become extremely difficult due to sluggish sales and unexpected financial constraints.
This is entirely our fault. As this was our first Steam release, our project scope was overly ambitious, and we were naive regarding marketing. We deeply regret that our lack of experience led to the current situation. While this has been a costly but valuable lesson for us, we feel a profound sense of responsibility for the disappointment we have caused our players.
To ensure the studio's survival, we unfortunately had no choice but to deprioritize updates for Clearing Blade over the past year. Even now, we must focus our efforts on tasks aimed at securing revenue sources to sustain the company. Consequently, we must heavy-heartedly inform you that improvements and additional content for Clearing Blade still remain a lower priority.
At this stage, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer as to when full-scale updates will resume. However, we will never forget this game. If any opportunity arises, we will do our absolute best to provide even small improvements or minor updates for our players.
We sincerely apologize once more for letting down the community that has waited for so long. We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to play our game despite these challenging circumstances.
Sincerely, The Development Team
