Apology Announcement for the Delayed Release

Dear Players,

After much reflection and consideration, we have made the difficult decision to slightly postpone the release of "Apocalypse Party" with a new launch planned for December. We sincerely apologize for this delay.

"The true test of a game is in its play!" It's become clear that participating in the Steam Next Fest and releasing a game demo for players to try was the right move for us. During this time, our passionate community has helped identify many bugs and has even offered numerous interesting suggestions to enhance the gaming experience. We've carefully recorded all these suggestions and thoughtfully considered them, ultimately deciding to implement an additional round of optimization and modifications to the game.

Making a decision to delay a release is never easy. However, we believe it's more crucial to present a game version that players will understand, appreciate, and truly enjoy rather than rush a potentially unsatisfying one. We have chosen the latter and sincerely hope for your understanding and patience. We don’t want to keep our devoted fans waiting too long, so we will first address the most critical changes to ensure a swift release, with continuous improvements based on your feedback to follow.

To express our regret and to show our gratitude for our ever-supportive community, we are hosting a small event from November 3rd to November 13th. Recognizing the joy many of our fans derive from playing with friends, we'll draw winners in pairs of two keys each. The event details are straightforward and will be announced on the day. We genuinely hope you'll join us.

Lastly, we invite any and all feedback about our game. Please feel free to leave comments and interact with us on our official Twitter and YouTube channels.

While "Apocalypse Party" may not yet be perfect, we are dedicated to pouring our heart and soul into it, making whatever tough choices are necessary, all in the hopes of creating a game that you love. We deeply appreciate your invaluable suggestions and the unwavering support and encouragement you've shown us. Once more, for the delay, we sincerely say: "We're sorry."

Best regards,
The "Apocalypse Party" Dev Team
