Back when I started the development, I had an abundance of time available. But at some point I needed to make the hard decision to close the doors for the active development of the game that was once a passion project, which took the majority of my free time back in the day. Today I don't have that much free time to spend to develop this game any further. I don't want to make promises I cannot fulfill.

After the mentioned date, you will be no longer able to purchase the game. You will be still able to play the game in single-player and multiplayer if you host a server using the dedicated server software.

Yours sincerely
