Hey guys, just wanted to give an update.

I promise you this is not some sort of bizarre marketing stunt or something we had planned. The dev team has literally not slept for 3 days straight because we wanted this launch to be as great as possible. We thought we were going to pull a heroic effort and get this done by launch, but we had no time to test. As a result, the build that we finally finished at 6am (3 hours before our initial launch time) had some integration bugs that needed fixing and we just didn't feel like we had enough time to fix and test things to ensure a stable launch, which is the most important thing right now.

The vast majority of these bugs are very easy to fix, but there was no way it was going to be done by 9am and we felt like a 4th day with no sleep would just lead to more sloppy bugs. The team has napped all day and is back on the grind We are doing our best and appreciate the support.

Things are looking really good for Friday!

Thanks,
Ian (CardinalSoldier)
CEO, 1047 Games
