Dear players,
We're back on office!!!. Through the following weeks, people will start coming back from vacation but we won't be a full roster until September.
I'm addressing you today because there have been changes in our short-term goals and we felt we needed to tell you.
I'll be clear: finally, there won't be a new build until the music channel is released. That's late September / early October, although we'll probably go with a beta first.
Let me explain ourselves: there are only two major bugs and none of them is gamebreaking. The idling collaborators is solved by reloading the game and the 100k subs award ceremony 96% crash still gives you the trophy when the game is loaded afterwards.
With each new build, we lose 2 to 3 days of dev time, and we have a lot of work ahead of us with the music channel. Time is a luxury we can't waste, moreover with a less-than-half team like we have right now.
Those two bugs are fixed in our working project, by the way, but a new build would come with other changes that we can't test until they're completely developed. And finishing them, testing, building, testig again, waiting for feedback, correcting unexpected bugs... that'd push back our release schedule by 7 or 10 days and we don't want to do that anymore.
We understand it's frustrating for you, having to reload the game when the collaborators stop receiving orders, but we've taken this decision because we think it's better to prioritize the release of the music channel.
Stay tuned to this news section, we'll try to keep you updated on possible release dates and how the development is going.
Thank you again for your patience and your trust.
Happy gaming.
Have a nice summer,
The U-Play Online team.
