Chapter 5 Delays and Progress

Happy 2024! December has come and gone, and obviously Chapter 5 has not released like we originally had hoped. Late 2023 we got Covid (and unfortunately, it appears to be long Covid).

addedI decided to delete the dates from our roadmap for now. While we do plan to finish Stardander this year, we keep missing deadlines and between that and the low sales numbers, it has been pretty demotivating. Once we're making more consistent progress, I might add target dates back to the roadmap.

December has come and gone, and obviously Chapter 5 has not released like we originally had hoped. Late 2023 we got Covid (and unfortunately, it appears to be long Covid). Then Winter Break began, and for parents, that means much less work time. Furthermore, with much of our time and energy going towards preparing for Aground Zero's Early Access launch on January 18th, we ended up pretty far behind with Stardander.

I'm sorry for the bad news - but I hope you'll enjoy Chapter 5 when it is ready!
