Happy new year from Miju Games to all terraformers!

Hello terraformers!

First of all, Brice & I wish you all an amazing year 2023!

2022 has been a great year for Miju Games, and we are really glad Planet Crafter received such an overwhelming reception!

We will continue to focus mainly on Planet Crafter during the year 2023 and after that.
We still have a lot of ideas for the game and we want to bring it to the next level during this new year.

We kept our promise to give you an update every 2-3 months last year, and we'll do our best to continue providing quality content untill the full 1.0 release.

[h2]The next update[/h2]

In order to prepare the future of the game, refine our workflow and find talents that will help us improve Planet Crafter even more, we worked on a lot of things that were not directly related to the next update during the last 3 months.

Because of this, we are now aiming for the end of february for the next update. This little delay will give us more time to add meaningfull content to it.

[h2]Roadmap Update[/h2]

So here's an updated roadmap for the year to come. Of course, this is not a final version, and it can change depending on how things go. We'll update it during the year.

And we plan to continue maintaining the game even after the release with free updates and DLC's.

So if you like Planet Crafter, rejoice, there's a lot more to come!
