Call for Early Testing of Version 1.0
Hello everyone,
First, we apologize for not providing any updates since our last announcement about version 0.9.0.
After careful consideration about this version, which has many elements closely connected to version 1.0, we decided to cancel this release and include everything in version 1.0.0 to give players the most complete experience possible.
And the time for version 1.0.0 is coming very soon!
Currently, we have uploaded this version to a separate test branch available for all users who own the game to download at any time.
With limited resources and many challenges as shared in previous announcements, we call on and hope you will help us by playing this early version to provide feedback about bugs or issues you encounter, so we can perfect the game before its official release at the end of this month!
The test version will be available from the moment you see this post until April 25, 2025.
