DEV LOG 06

First of all, we would like to apologize to our long-awaiting players. The game release, initially scheduled for the first half of 2023, has been delayed once again. We will explain the reasons for the delay and confirm the final launch date in the following paragraphs.
More importantly, we try to be more transparent and accurate in informing players about our plans leading up to the game's release.



[h2]Release Date[/h2]
The final release date is set for Sept 20, 2023 (4 AM PST). Initial platforms are STEAM and XBOX.



[h2]Reasons for Delay[/h2]
By the end of 2022, we had finished the development of in-game features and entered the testing and bug-fixing phase. Since this is our first game project, we wrongly estimated the time needed for bug fixes.
Additionally, some necessary approval processes also exceeded our expected timeline. This was entirely due to our overly optimistic estimates and lack of experience, for which we deeply apologize.



[h2]Pre-release Plans[/h2]
Firstly, the game needs to obtain final approvals from partner platforms and relevant regional authorities. Without these approvals, we will not be able to set up servers and release the game in certain regions.
Secondly, we need to conduct stress tests on our servers. Before the final launch, the game will undergo at least two full-interface server stress tests to minimize potential server issues.



[h2]Game Prices[/h2]
Standard Edition: 20 USD
Deluxe Edition: 30 USD
Both the Standard and Deluxe Editions include all game maps, with the Deluxe Edition featuring exclusive character outfits and in-game currency. We will disclose the content of Deluxe Edition in future Dev Logs.



[h2]In-game Currency[/h2]
In-game currency can be earned by playing or leveling up and is used to unlock characters or character outfits.
Different character outfits will not have any stats or functional differences.



[h2]Gifts for Demo Players[/h2]
All Steam players who participated in the Demo in October 2020 will receive 10 "Surprise Egg" vouchers in the game. Surprise Eggs contain various in-game characters, character outfits, avatar frames, and others.
