[h2]A word from the team[/h2]

It's been quite a journey so far since the Early Access release last year. We've been developing and crafting the game alongside you, thanks to your feedback. We like to say that a video game is an organic product that evolves not only with the people who make it but also with its community. We are extremely grateful and thrilled by your support and commitment to making the best version of the game.

As the game is releasing in 1.0, comes one of the biggest features: the Civil War. We've been hard at work designing, coding, illustrating, and testing this big chunk that represents the late game. We are preparing a devblog to introduce its content. We want to keep expanding the game and its content with your support.

Now that the game is in 1.0, we are still committed to assessing your constructive comments and incorporating your ideas into future updates. Thank you once again for your support, and your continuous contributions to the development of Great Houses of Calderia.
