changedLet me explain: during and after the Steam Summer Sale, Valve paused wishlist counts. I happened to publish my steam page just as the sale began, so I wasn’t able to track the progress in real-time. Just today, the numbers have finally updated, and I’ve seen that we've blown passed the 20,000 wishlist milestone. I can't thank you enough - that is genuinely wild.
changedNow to be completely honest, I set that milestone thinking of it as an unrealistic goal I would never hit. Something to bide time in order to give me time to work on the multiplayer. I genuinely never expected to ever hit 20k, and I definitely didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. Unfortunately as a result, the multiplayer demo isn’t ready just yet. I want to make sure this demo is the best it can be, so I’m taking the time to playtest, tweak, and refine everything. No rushing - just making sure it’s genuinely fun when it drops.

I'm hard at work on it and you can expect it to be released within the next 2 months. I really appreciate everyone’s patience, and I’m endlessly grateful for the support and kind messages I've received so far.
