Current development is focused on combat polish, environmental quality, optimization, and improving the overall gameplay feel.
Additionally, the original plan was to release updates only after all level reworks had been completed.
However, since this could significantly extend development time, the update strategy has been changed to release updates incrementally as each area is completed.
Once AI and item placement work for the Twisted Forest area is finished, an update containing the current system improvements and various bug fixes is planned.
We will continue improving the game moving forward.
Thank you for your support.
