It's time to say goodbye~

We VUP team has decided to cease the operation of VUP_free version starting from June 27, 2023.
At that time:
1. VUP will be removed from Steam and the official VUP website, and all previous official download links for VUP will become invalid.
2. VUP Workshop editor will be removed from Steam.
3. VUP cannot be downloaded through public official channels.

At this moment, our team would like to apologize to the users who have been supporting and liking VUP.
We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused.

In order to avoid any delays in your future plans, we would like to inform you in advance and kindly request that you make necessary preparations.

From its inception until now, every step of VUP's growth has been possible thanks to your support and suggestion.
Looking back at those moments, we can't help but feel reluctant.

We sincerely apologize and appreciate your continuous companionship.
