addedRXC has been on a temporary development pause while we attend to our legacy games. We have a back catalog of games that goes back more than 10 years (Ultra4, Rally Runner, Gigabit Offroad, etc). While it's pretty awesome that games can live that long on platforms, it means we have to go back to them every so often as platform requirements get updated. If we don't keep them in line with store policies, the app stores will remove them and they still have a decent sized player base. Not only that, but some of the games have started breaking due to operating system changes and need attention. So, that's what we've been doing for the last few months. It's been a challenge to update, in some cases, decade old code to keep the games functioning. I'd estimate another month of work before we can put our focus back on RXC and boy are we itching to do that. I'm sure you can imagine how much more game dev experience we have since some of those old games were made. It's going to feel so nice to dig back into RXC and finish off that roadmap! I hope, for those that are still waiting patiently for some new RXC content and features, this at least demonstrates our long term commitment to our games. Even after we moved on from those old games, we will still try our best to keep them in a playable state. If anyone needs assistance or wishes to discuss RXC, we are still active on Discord. Feel free to send us a message if you require any assistance. Thank you for believing in our game and for your continued support. We hope this year is a fantastic one for everybody!
