Greetings and thank you to everyone following and supporting the development of our [strike]scam[/strike] project! I am writing this to talk to you about our plans with the project going forward. So, contrary to our original plan, [b]the early access will continue in 2024[/b]. The reason for this is that we have not been able to reach our goals and the game is just not where it would need to be in order to be labeled as a "full release". Why? I feel that I need to be brutally honest here and that if you have bought the game you deserve to know. The truth is that at times continuing to work on this project has been a struggle for me. As those who have followed the project longer know, there is quite a bit of history even before the early access. I could summarize it as follows: At first it was a fun passion project, then it started to get serious, then perhaps a little too serious. Finally I ended up in a position where I found myself unable or unwilling to either release it or quit. It was a very hard time for me both psychologically and financially. After ending up in such a place it has taken time to accept that this is how things are. Then I was offered a chance where the project would be acquired and the work would continue under a larger organization. I jumped at this because it was by Toni who was an investor at an earlier stage and with his help we launched the early access. Unfortunately it wasn't smooth sailing from there on either. Basically we struggled to form a team and reverted to mostly me working on the game. And I take the responsibility for not being able to keep up with the plan stated along with the early access release. Fortunately things have started to look better after Teemu (the Botanist) joined the company just before summer 2023. Together we have been making progress during the fall and I think we have a good chance to bring the project to completion in 2024. So this is where we stand now. [b]There will an update released before christmas and a revised plan for the remaining early access[/b]. Thanks again for your support!
