[olist] [*] The game is still under development and will be published. We haven't abandoned it for a single day. [*] We are going to post Devlogs regularly from now on. [*] The game has changed a lot, and we had to change its scope. [/olist] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33439258/a4bde1e396072290a435949166ad64dd89555b3b.png[/img] We need a word of explanation here. We had suffered a major delay with the game development due to the Unreal Engine version being used for WoodZone. Originally it was developed on Unreal Engine 4.14 that caused us some technical issues that a currently used version solved. Sadly just as much it solves a lot of troubles, it brings just as many new ones.

Originally it was supposed to become a multiplayer sandbox game with a lot of Tycoon-like gameplay. Currently, the game has become a single-player story-driven game with a lot of Tycoon-like gameplay. For that purpose, we are doing three things in parallel. - Fixing Unreal Engine version swap related issues. - Improving already made stuff while fixing it (mostly graphics) - Creating new content for the game.
