addedThough we firmly believe we have the core to a great game, Khatyrka is simply too large for a student dev team. We believe that the product wouldn't be up to the standards of our players. Instead of continuing to drive ourselves into the ground over sunk cost, we believe the best course of action for ourselves & our players is to start from scratch with a new, better scoped project.

After much deliberation, we've made the unfortunate decision to cancel the release of Khatyrka indefinitely. This was a very difficult decision for us to make.

Though we firmly believe we have the core to a great game, Khatyrka is simply too large for a student dev team. We believe that the product wouldn't be up to the standards of our players. Instead of continuing to drive ourselves into the ground over sunk cost, we believe the best course of action for ourselves & our players is to start from scratch with a new, better scoped project.

We sincerely apologize for this announcement and hope that despite the disappointment, you will understand why we made this decision.

We've gained invaluable knowledge from the failures of Khatyrka, and are confident that this is only the start of our game development journey.

Thank you for your support! More is to come, and we hope that you will join us!

Big Love, Johanna, Jeffrey, Martin and the entire Khatyrka Dev Team
