Dear Factory Managers,

It's been a little over a month since the Playtest ended.

Developer Melt Clock is working diligently every day to bring Lazy Witch's Factory back to you all.

Over this past month, we completely removed all functionality related to the “Conveyor Belt” and rebuilt it entirely from scratch.

While this is a core game mechanic, it was reported to have numerous bugs and lag issues during the playtest. We determined that a complete rebuild was necessary to fix these problems at their root.

The implementation is now complete. While the core specifications remain largely unchanged, the frame rate when processing 1000 items has improved from 3fps to 60fps.

The game should now finally be playable as a factory game without issues.

I've summarized the detailed specifications and redesign process in a note (in Japanese). Please take a look if you're interested.

Next, we'll redesign the tutorial, which we didn't have time to implement during Playtest.

Through Playtest, we discovered that “first-time Factory Game players” are far more numerous than anticipated.

While Factory Games are a niche genre requiring significant memorization, their cute visuals seem to have paid off.

We are designing a tutorial that allows even such beginners to quickly grasp gameplay while fully experiencing the core Factory Game appeal: the snowballing process of increasing production capacity.

Development continues, so please look forward to future updates!
