addedRegarding the Past Year - My Deepest Apologies:Since the 2023 New Year announcement, I haven't released any updates or official notices about Eve of Souls: Static Pod on Steam or other public platforms. This has understandably caused confusion and dissatisfaction among almost all players. This behavior constitutes a severe breach of my previous commitments, and for that, I'm profoundly sorry. I'll try to explain the specific circumstances of these two years in this announcement.
changedWhy Has the Game Update Been Continuously Delayed?Simply put: major disagreements with a core team member midway through development, coupled with my own insufficient capabilities, lack of willpower, and unexpected health issues severely impacted my life planning. (From 2020 to the present, I still haven't been able to reintegrate into "normal life." Even minor lapses like forgetting medication on time or encountering emotionally triggering content can cause severe adverse reactions.) I've generally avoided discussing specific medical conditions and personal matters, as those could be seen as excuses or attempts to garner sympathy. However, if any players are interested in these topics, you're welcome to join our official QQ group [367451352] for more direct and casual communication with me or other players.
changedWhat Exactly Has the Developer Been Doing?Shamefully, the answer might be "almost nothing" - or rather, I've been: • Actively pursuing treatment and striving to take medication on schedule • Reporting physical conditions and attempting to return to normal life (socializing, exercise, simple remote work, etc.) • Using video games as distraction therapy Since October 2024, I've been researching suitable hospitals for proper rehabilitation. On March 1, 2025, I completed my first 13-day hospitalization for observation and treatment. My condition has now stabilized somewhat with adjusted medication, and I've learned some self-protection/recovery methods. I've begun more active follow-up consultations, hoping this trend continues.

Future Plans for ?
I deeply regret that I can't make any commitments regarding resuming work/updating timelines. However, I haven't abandoned this project. When I can stably return to "normal life and work/study routines," my first major task will be completing Eve of Souls: Static Pod - a goal reaffirmed through discussions with my medical team.
Final Thanks
To all players who've waited, cared, supported, or criticized during this period - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love you all. ❤
