Patch 1.2.5 — Final Update
First of all, thank you so much for 100 copies sold We’ve reached this milestone very recently, and I truly appreciate every bit of support. Thank you for believing in the project and playing the game.
About this update
Patch 1.2.5 is the final update, focused on improvements based on community feedback. A large part of this feedback was collected during the video game festival held on December 20 in Moscow. Thank you to everyone who came, shared their thoughts, and took the time to play the game. It was great to see how you play and to discuss the project in person.
This update was implemented by me as the main programmer. Our team consists of three people, with only one programmer, so development resources are limited. Despite this, I continue improving the game based on your feedback and prioritizing the most impactful changes.
