Additional Comments from the Dev:
Hello, all my Kollectomaniacs! Akmac here.
I'm so proud and happy to announce this major update for Kollectomaniac, which will finally bring us out of Early Access and is truly what I've always envisioned for the game since day one.
It's been an incredible journey working on this game, and if you told me two years ago that I'd find a project I spent countless hours on without letting it sit half-baked, I wouldn't have believed it. Kollectomaniac is truly the biggest, most important game I've ever made, and everyone's support has been integral to keeping me going.
It's been amazing seeing testers, friends, streamers, and game reviewers enjoy the game, and seeing people happy playing something you've made is really why I love being a game dev.
This really is the biggest update yet, and playing this version of the game compared to the last, which was released almost a year ago now, is like night and day.
For the future, I do plan to work on other projects, but I will always return to Kollectomaniac for bug fixes and small changes.
There's a good chance this is the last major or even minor content update. However, if Kollectomaniac gathers a larger audience, I would be delighted to return to the game.
Thank you so much for reading this and playing the game; it means the world to me.
Akmac
