Repeated intro

Hello! We just wanted to drop in and let everyone know that the Content Update is indeed still in the works. We just recently wrote a ton of lore for the in-game tome, and the lore pages can already be unlocked by doing campaigns. We're currently working on fixing up the new beast battles, and did a lot more work this week on shinying up the interface. There is an announcement to make: 1.2 will be the final update for Blasted Fortress. Don't forget though, we're including the Music Update with 1.2, smashing the two updates into one for this final hurrah. It'll be good stuff! But... why is this the end?! Looking at our statistics, sales have been flat over the last few months and concurrent users have gone way down to the point of vanishing. Providing free updates for an audience that no longer exists benefits no one. Should our stats come back to life, we would certainly consider going through with the Tribe War update (which was meant to add a competitive online multiplayer mode to the game), but the current trend is not showing this. We would never dream of canceling promised updates under normal circumstances, but these are a bit abnormal. At any rate, we're doing our best to have the Content Update live on Steam before the month ends. Coinciding with the release will likely be a sale, so if you've been waiting on one, we'll be making it worth your while. We see that several hundred people have the game on their wish list and we're eager to see if we can invite them in! :) Have a good one, and hopefully we'll be back in touch at the end of the month with a delightful list of patch notes and a new update.
