An update on Dead Wastes development

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p]Players have been asking me for an update on Black (Dead) Wastes development and when you can expect a possible release.[/p][p]The truth is, so far the update has had a tough time in development. The original developer I found and hired for this task had a lot of trouble learning the source project and barely did anything for 4–5 months before leaving. I then spent about a month looking for another developer to take over.[/p][p]After that, I found a small development team offering freelance work, and they agreed to work on the project. Although they are making some progress, it’s still quite challenging for them to learn all the small details and intricacies of such a large project. Right now, they are working on level design, and I wanted to share a couple of snippets of what we have so far.[/p][p]I have a lot of cool ideas for this expansion, and I want it to meet a certain quality standard — so I will take as much time as needed. If we can’t reach that quality standard, I won’t release it.[/p][p]We are still aiming at 2026 release year.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
