[p][/p][h2]Why I stopped updating for a while...[/h2][p]Sorry for not posting for a while. As I've told on a previous announcement before we we're dropped by the publisher we've been working with since 2024. And because of this, we really didn't had any funding since April 2025. So in our last ditch effort, we've decided to just release the demo and see where it would take us.[/p][p][/p][p]Thankfully, the demo release was a success, thanks to everyone who played our game! I'll be making another announcement post regarding the demo results in the future. But for now, thanks again everyone for playing our game![/p][p][/p][p]Around the 2nd week of June, we were out of funds. So we had to pause development for a bit and we went back seeking funding for the game. I emailed a lot of publishers, I applied for jobs, I talked to investors.[/p][p][/p][h2]Some good news![/h2][p]It was a pretty long process, but after 2 more weeks of talking to them, we've finally found someone who was interested in funding our game![/p][p][/p][p]I can't say any details for now, but starting this week, we finally have our game funded! And we can say with full confidence that we are now able to finish our game 100%! [/p][p][/p][p]Will talk about it more in the future but for now this is all I can say![/p][p][/p][h2]Coming soon:[/h2][p]We have also planning on some more future stuff planned coming soon. Like Localizations for different languages.[/p][p][/p][p]These languages are currently in the works and will be implented as soon as they're finished:[/p]

• [p]Simplified Chinese[/p]
• [p]Traditional Chinese[/p]
• [p]Brazilian[/p]
• [p]French[/p]
• [p]Japanese[/p]

[p][/p][p]More languages are coming in the future![/p]
