| Development Update | 2025-01-18 | Since the release of the Roadmap, development has been going very well and I want to give you an update about the current state of the game.

It will also be a much better player experience, instead of smaller pieces there will be quite a substantial content update. The downside is, it will still take quite some time until everything is finished and playtested. Here a quick overview of the progress |
