[/p][p]A Message from the Producer[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p]This year has been both fulfilling and full of challenges, marking the release of our first game after four years of development.[/p][p][/p][p]We usually focus on sharing good news, but we would like to briefly talk about our current financial situation, as transparency may help us receive more support.
We are eager to improve our staffing limitations. For example, the Christmas hat shown above could not be included in this update.
In the past, there were also holiday events we wanted to create but were unable to deliver on time.
These limitations are, understandably, tied to financial realities. Over the course of this year, we have been operating at a loss of approximately USD 80,000.[/p][p][/p][p]We firmly believe the future will be brighter, but at this moment, we genuinely need more support.
This is also why we continue to provide Early Access players with additional free skins.
We sincerely thank everyone who is supporting us right now. Your support gives us tremendous motivation to keep updating the game.[/p][p][/p][p]Currently, we are investing 120% of our budget into this project
100% of the game’s revenue plus an additional 20% from our own funds.
We promise that once our financial situation improves, we will hire more team members to ensure smoother and more efficient development going forward.[/p][p]
[/p][p]This year’s financial performance has not shaken our commitment to continuing development in the slightest.
Seeing revenue gradually increase reinforces our belief that the game still has significant potential.
We believe we have yet to reach a broader audience, and today’s low baseline represents tomorrow’s high growth.[/p][p][/p][p]Next year, we will continue working hard to deliver even more game content.
Thank you for all your support throughout this year.
Let’s look forward to the year ahead together, and we wish you happy holidays.[/p][p]
