About this update:

This is a technical update rather than a content drop. My focus was on refining the core features following the Alpha and fixing minor bugs that could impact the player experience. I’m aware the Alpha is quite short, but it served its purpose: testing the market and gathering player feedback.

I am incredibly happy with the results! so many players have tested the game and added it to their wishlists. It’s very encouraging! Before moving forward with the new content I’ve prepared, I wanted to ensure the technical foundation was rock solid.

What's next? After the holidays, I’ll be working back to content: My goal is to offer at least one hour of gameplay for free in the Demo!

Happy holidays to everyone, Cheers! Jerome.
