Dear players, greetings to you all!

It has been quite some time since my last update. I feel it is my duty to let you know what I have been doing during this period.

Above all, the fact that you believed in our game and supported it meant more to me than anything else, and I sincerely thank you for that. During this time, the only thing on my mind was how I could turn Swarm Grinder into the game you truly deserve and how I could find the resources to make it happen.

After everything that happened, unfortunately I was left alone, carrying many responsibilities and the weight of running a company by myself. It has truly been a difficult process, and continuing communication with you became impossible for me.

Since my last message, I have managed to reduce my six-digit debt to five digits. I also settled my debts with former partners and investors, and from now on I am the sole person making decisions for the game. On top of that, I have built a brand new team of talented people dedicated entirely to this project.

There are great things ahead! We are working hard on the next update. From now on, Adem will handle the updates and keep you informed about our progress (I was never good at communication anyway).

You may be wondering why there has been silence until now, and you would be right to ask. My debts had piled up so heavily that covering them with game sales alone would have taken hundreds of years (and I doubt I would live that long :’)). That is why I turned to other works. I freelanced, took part in projects across different industries, and earned income that way. But throughout it all, the only thing on my mind was to repay my debt to Swarm Grider, to give you the best possible content and experience, and to make sure that in my future games I never repeat the mistakes that brought me here.

Some of you have asked if the game is dead. To that, I have only one thing to say: I have risen from my ashes, and you will witness this rebirth step by step.

Thank you for being here, Kağan
