Dev Log #019: 2022-07-17

After we released Final Chapter: Heaven for beta testing last week, we received a lot of suggestions from the community, and we are polishing it accordingly. This week, we are implementing the 2nd storyline: Soul Mountains, working on building mod tools, as well as balancing and bug fixes.

As we are struggling with funding, we are planning to launch crowdfunding campaigns (e.g. Kickstarter, Patreon) to find new funding sources to support our development of new characters (Swine King and Faithful Devil) and card redesign project. We will share more details soon!
