Future Service Plans

[p][/p][p]Regarding the Nintendo Switch version, it will take more time due to technical preparations. Since I didn't want to make our backers wait any longer, I ask for your understanding that I am presenting the Steam version first.[/p][p][/p][p]First, I will prioritize fixing bugs and reflecting user feedback for the Steam version, and our goal is to release the Nintendo Switch version by the 3rd quarter.[/p][p][/p][p]The mobile version is being prepared with a goal to release after the Switch launch. I will continuously share news through patch notes and development logs so that the journey of Connected Clue can lead well to the mobile release.[/p][p][/p][p]Once again, I bow my heads in apology and gratitude to everyone who has shown interest and waited silently for a long time. I hope the day comes when I can talk about the work process through development reviews.[/p][p]Well then, see you at the official launch tomorrow at 00:00 AM! :)[/p][p][/p][p]Homepage: [/p][p]https://www.connected-clue.com/[/p][p] Steam: [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p] Goods Shop: [/p][p]https://marpple.shop/kr/alpheratz4869[/p][p] Discord: [/p][p]https://discord.gg/nCnhycdRN5[/p][p] Official X (Twitter): [/p][p]https://x.com/_alphe[/p][p][/p]
