Hi everyone,

We know we’ve been a bit quiet lately, and updates are taking longer than usual to roll out. We want to be completely transparent with you about why this is happening and what’s going on behind the scenes.

Lately, our team has been facing limited free time coupled with a massive workload. Instead of just releasing small, temporary fixes, we decided to take a step back and dedicate our energy to a massive overhaul to make the game smoother, more stable, and significantly more playable.

Here is what we are currently working on:

  • Total Code Overhaul: We are completely rewriting the game's core code from scratch. This will eliminate structural bugs and lay down a solid foundation for all future content.

  • Brand New Customer AI: To fix the frustrating bugs where customers get stuck or behave strangely, we are completely recreating the AI system from the ground up.

  • Major Optimization & Lag Fixes: We hear you loud and clear regarding the performance issues. This code reformulation is heavily focused on wiping out the lag that many of you have reported.

We are pouring our hearts into making this game the best it can possibly be. It’s a huge undertaking for our current workload, but we promise the wait will be worth it.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support!

Stay tuned,

The Dev Team
