Post-Release Update
Hello everyone,
We're thrilled with how the release has gone and are overwhelmed by the positive feedback—a huge thank you to everyone who bought and is playing ZEPHON! It's extremely motivating to see after working on the project for this many years.
While during the first week we mainly focused on chasing down bugs and taking in feedback, rest assured that plans to further expand and enrich the universe of ZEPHON have already been set in motion.
Stay tuned!
