changedNeedless to say, the process is challenging, and yet, we are eager to tackle this challenge and are striving to make the best possible game.

changedOne aspect of this challenge that we haven't yet been able to overcome, is to continuously deliver meaningful changes and improvements to the game.

changedTo reach and overcome this challenge, we have shifted our approach to the development and are treating The current version of Naxia as a pre-production version of the game!

changedWe have to emphasize that this prologue is currently identical to the paid version of the game and while by purchasing this game, you will receive the same version, you will receive all of our future content updates and will support us to reach our vision of Naxia .In the current updated version of the game, we have changed our approach to combat. Previously, Ajira's attacks were stiff, had a small hitbox and her mobility was limited. This was mostly because we had focused on Ajira's skills, abilities, and her "Rage Form" to engage in combat.

Furthermore, we realized that we wanted to sell the idea that " Ajira is an agile and deadly Rouge! ".

While our top priority at this moment is to refactor the project, to be able to deliver monthly updates, we can't give an accurate estimate on when we can present a roadmap and release updates based on it.

For this reason, we decided to release the current updated version of the game as a Free To Try prologue.

We have to emphasize that this prologue is currently identical to the paid version of the game and while by purchasing this game, you will receive the same version, you will receive all of our future content updates and will support us to reach our vision of Naxia.

For These reasons, we decided to focus on one weapon (her deadly daggers) and try to make the best combat experience using them. By doing so, we had to redesign our enemies and skills to better suit the combat experience that we were trying to design.

While we are satisfied with the results that we have achieved, we had to move some of our systems (skill tree, Quests, etc.) to in-development status to be able to solely focus on the combat changes.
