As a solo developer, every update, system, and improvement has been a learning experience, and I’ve done my best to listen to player feedback and shape the game in that direction.[/p][p][/p][p]I truly appreciate everyone who stuck with the project during Early Access and helped guide its development. Your feedback has been incredibly valuable in improving the game and pushing it forward.[/p][p][/p][p]I also want to apologize if the development process felt lengthy at times. During this period I was also completing my Game Design diploma at university, which helped me grow as a developer and allowed me to bring more knowledge and improvements back into the game and my studio.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all for your patience, support, and feedback along the way. It genuinely means a lot.[/p][p][/p][p]Development will continue as we move forward toward the 1.0.0 complete release, with many more improvements and features still to come.[/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p]🔗 Get End of Everything now on Steam
