Dear Neurodeck players, Thank you for participating in the launch of Neurodeck. The game had a good start until we realized the quality was not high enough and disappointed some of you! [b]We take this as a hint to keep working on it[/b]. Goblinz Studio & we have it in our DNA to not give up and provide updates to the game.

So, we have decided to make updates to the game for the next 3 months. We’re going to hire new people on the development side and reattribute tasks to people who can work on those updates. These are unplanned expenses for us [b]but we know it’s necessary for the game[/b]. We will try to improve some aspects such as pacing, content and game feel.
