Tribe Leaders,

It’s been a week since Medieval Dynasty came out, and to say that it’s been thrilling is an understatement. It’s been absolutely insane. Our release has gone way above our expectations. To get over 1.5 thousand reviews with 90% of them positive in the first 3 days was incredible, humbling and just… really nice to see. It kept us going through the weekend, giving us power to push when we were working on hotfixes ːsteamhappyː

So from the bottom of our collective heart, we just want to say “thank you”. Thank you for your positive comments, for your messages of support, your suggestions, ideas, and feedback. Thank you for taking a chance on our game, and most importantly, thank you for being part of this project. Remember, this is just the beginning. We will be keeping you informed on developments as well, so you know what we are doing and planning to do.
