Regarding the update efficiency, due to insufficient R&D funds, we’ve been unable to expand our team, and each developer has to shoulder multiple tasks simultaneously. Besides, while working on new content, we also have to spend a considerable amount of time testing, optimizing, and adjusting the original system and fixing the bugs. Unsatisfactory contents that temporarily fall under “shelved” and “work in progress” categories also take a lot of time. For update content, we incline to provide high-quality, rather than dull and repetitive, content.

Now, we’ve finally completed all the plans regarding the game’s main storyline, which can be seen as a milestone. The next job is to work on “Body-part editing” and “Dungeon challenge”. After completing the two, we plan to start working on some branch contents to enrich the gameplay and gaming experience, such as adding more environments, enemies, and interaction methods, including diseases, events, and weather.

We have devoted a lot of effort to Keplers. We believe that with our persistence and hard work, we can bring you more and better content. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement!
