Developer Notes
Hey everyone,
We’ve received a lot of feedback recently, and we truly appreciate all the time you’ve spent playing and sharing your thoughts.
Whether positive or critical, we’ve been carefully reading everything. It has helped us clearly identify the current issues.
Main topics raised by players:
Game pacing
Difficulty & balance
Certain mechanics causing frustration
We understand that some players enjoy the current challenge, while others would prefer a smoother experience.
We’ll handle this carefully.
Our goal is to gradually improve the game without compromising its core experience, rather than making drastic or reactionary changes.
Just like in the game itself, decisions driven by emotion are rarely optimal—and the same applies to development.
This game may not be for everyone, but we hope to make it enjoyable and comfortable for as many players as possible.
That’s the direction we’re moving toward.
