Final remarks

This time around, we’d like to give a massive shoutout to the entire community for your continued support and positivity during the recent wave of attacks targeting both our players and the official servers which lead to lots of downtime and confusion among new players.

As a small independent studio that seems to like making big games, we’re no strangers to unexpected challenges—and the last week as certainly tested us. Despite that, your encouragement has made all the difference. We're incredibly grateful for the resilience of our players and the lessons we've learned in the process. That knowledge will be crucial as we continue improving ANEURISM IV and prepare for the future of our upcoming titles. Thank you all!
