[h3]Greetings our fellow Rebels and followers, We've been working hard on some new stuff and we're excited to share it with you. So let's dive right into it, shall we? [/h3] [h2]Bad news - a lot of time wasted[/h2] Most of you might not have been aware of it, but in the last 7 months we've put a lot of time, energy and effort negotiating with various investors / publishers about financing our first game. We've attended many events and discussions that costed us a big chunk of time we could have put elsewhere - into the development of course. Due to this matter, a lot of content we've wanted to release this year was either delayed or cut out completely. Unfortunately, we haven't signed contract with any of the related parties as their terms & conditions were unfair and unfavorable.

We dedicated whole December into the production - meaning we've been working on last two missions of the first Gray Zone chapter. We take all your valuable feedback to the heart and we are doing our best to implement accordingly. Our pace is slow, nonetheless, as our team currently consists of only 3 full-time members and one part-time externist. So it's quite difficult. On the flip side, we obtain resources for the development from outsourcing projects and contracts. This provides us with complete independence, although, we can't afford to enlarge our development teams from such profits.

As a matter of fact, we've already designed some core gameplay. A goal of the tutorial mission is to guide player through the game's mechanics which will allow the player to adapt and master them on a deeper level. [h2]Achievements Implementation[/h2] After-mission statistics are part of a bigger plan and it directly connects to achievements. Some basic ones have already been added. Do you have ideas for some cool achievements? Let us know.

Don't forget to give us feedback on Discord or Steam so we can constantly improve the game.
