Hello dear players!

But before showing the release notes I wanted to announce that the previously mentioned Tech Update has been delayed indefinitely.

Tech Update Delayed Indefinitely

To be completely transparent here's what happened:

Right after the last update on December, we started updating all of our engine's dependencies to its latest versions while fixing any code breaking changes, unfortunately we ran onto some compatibility issues with the new versions that were causing the game to not behave properly. This means we will need further testing on the game with the updated tech and find out what is causing such behavior and take action.

In order to not delay content updates any further we decided to put the Tech Update in a separate branch we can continue to look into on a later time while we continue developing new content.

As always, thank you for playing! Your support means the world to us, and we’re excited to keep improving and expanding the game throughout 2025.
