Dear Esteemed Magistrates,

We owe you an apology — the major update will be delayed.

It’s not that we don’t want to finish, it’s that we literally can’t finish it on time. When we wrote the last preview of the upcoming update, we didn’t fully realize just how interconnected everything is. One tweak leads to another, and it turned out to be a much bigger overhaul than we expected — especially with the underlying gameplay logic changes.

But hey, it’s not all bad news —

After the major update, even with 5,000 people on screen, it won’t lag anymore!

Don't just take our word for it — check out the latest gameplay demo: [Watch the New Demo]

Current Development Progress Summary:

  1. Programming functionality: 70% complete

  2. UI adjustments: 50% complete

  3. Production/consumption balancing: still in progress, as we've just started internal testing

  4. 6 bugs from the previous version: still pending fixes

  5. A bunch of sneaky new bugs from the new version: lurking in the shadows, waiting to be squashed...

All in all, we’re now aiming to release the major update around late July.

Thanks for your patience and support — stay tuned!
