fixedWhile there’s no fixed end date, please keep in mind that Wrecked can’t remain up indefinitely. The game has not received updates or support in a long time, and the in-game store no longer generates revenue. Meanwhile, maintaining the database does involve ongoing costs.
changedGiven the game’s small player base and the relatively low grind for in-game rewards, this lack of revenue isn’t surprising. But more than that, I’ve come to realize that I don’t want to rely on pushing players to make in-game purchases to keep a game afloat. I would rather offer a quality product at a fair, one-time price than lean on microtransactions.
changedLooking forward, I hope to find time to create a sequel to Wrecked. While there’s no timeline for this, and I can’t promise anything yet, I would aim to keep it accessible. A potential model could be to keep the game free with a few paid DLCs for additional maps or features. This approach would allow continued development while keeping the game open to a broad audience.

Over the weekend, I received messages from many players, and it’s clear that more people than I expected want to keep playing Wrecked. Some are enjoying quality time with friends, others are working toward in-game achievements, and some simply appreciate having access to a game they’ve enjoyed in the past.
As a gamer myself, I understand and appreciate all these reasons, so I’ve decided to keep the game available for now.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support for this project.
