Hello, Heroes.
This is the DragonSword : Awakening dev team at Hound13.

Thanks to the love we never expected, DragonSword : Awakening's wishlist count has passed 300,000 before we knew it.

With less than two weeks until launch, our development team is now busy preparing for release.

To mark this 300K milestone, we've gathered greetings from members of our team who are hard at work on the ground, striving to deliver the most polished game we can. Not every developer was able to leave a message this time — but please remember that every single one of them holds the same heartfelt gratitude for your interest.

So that the meaning of each message can reach you as fully as possible, we've included the original Korean text alongside every translation.

Please keep cheering us on until launch.

Thank you, truly, for all the love and interest you've shown us. To repay that love, we will do our very best to create a game that stays in your memory for a long time to come. — Original (Korean) — 보내주신 많은 사랑과 관심에 진심으로 감사드립니다. 그 사랑에 보답할 수 있도록, 여러분의 기억에 오래도록 남는 멋진 게임을 만들기 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다.

Thank you so much! For us, these numbers aren't just statistics — they feel like 300,000 hopes and 300,000 cheers. We'll work even harder until launch, and repay those 300,000 hopes with as close to zero excuses as we can possibly manage. Thank you! — Original (Korean) — 정말 감사합니다! 숫자는 저희에게 단순한 통계가 아니라, 30만 번의 기대와 응원으로 느껴집니다. 출시까지 더욱 열심히 개발하여 30만 번의 기대에, 0에 가까운 핑계와 변명으로 보답하겠습니다. 감사합니다!

Over the past few years with this team, we've been through many things. In every one of those moments, we've always given our all. Now — the final move, we leave to you. — Original (Korean) — 이 팀과 함께한 지난 몇 년 동안 많은 일이 있었습니다. 그 모든 순간마다 저희는 늘 최선을 다했습니다. 이제 마지막 한 수는 여러분께 맡기겠습니다.

Thank you for showing such great interest in our world. I hope that one day we may sit at a tavern in Orbis and watch over your adventures with a smile. — Original (Korean) — 저희 세계에 많은 관심을 주셔서 감사합니다. 오르비스 주점에 앉아 여러분들의 모험을 웃으며 바라볼 수 있길 기원하겠습니다.

Thank you for the 300K wishlists. If everyone on our wishlist ended up buying the game, nothing could make us more grateful (happy-daydream mode: fully engaged!) — but just having this much interest already means the world to us. We ask for your continued interest and support in the updates we have planned, and we'll keep working to make a game that's worth buying. Once again, from the bottom of our hearts — thank you. — Original (Korean) — 위시리스트 30만 감사드립니다. 위시리스트의 모든 사람들이 구매해주신다면 그만큼 감사한 일은 없겠지만(행복회로 풀 가동!) 이미 이만큼 관심 가져주신다는 게 정말 감사할 따름입니다. 계획 예정인 업데이트에도 지속적인 관심과 응원 부탁드리며, 구매할 가치가 있는 게임을 만들 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 다시 한번 더 진심으로 감사드립니다.

Thank you so much for the love you've shown us. I was worried we might not get to show you World 2, which we've been working so hard on — but I'm truly happy and excited that this opportunity has come. We'll do our best so that we can share World 2 with you as well, someday. Please keep loving us in the days ahead! — Original (Korean) — 많이 좋아해주셔서 감사합니다. 열심히 만들던 2월드를 보여드리지 못할까 봐 아쉬웠는데, 이렇게 기회가 생겨 기쁘고 기대됩니다. 언젠가 2월드도 꼭 공개할 수 있도록 열심히 하겠습니다. 앞으로도 많이 사랑해주세요!

Ten voices — some brief, some long — each one carrying the heart of a person who has helped build DragonSword : Awakening over these years.

Every message of support you leave us becomes the strength we need to take the next step forward.

On July 23, we'll be waiting for you on the Orbis Continent.

Truly, thank you.
