Hello, friends, we have some updates to share!

Summary: We have signed with Hooded Horse, and the final Early Access release date is set for May.

First, I want to say thank you for your feedback, patience, and communication. I think we have one of the most pleasant communities I've ever seen.

As you know, since the end of December, we have been conducting playtests and carefully studying your feedback. External testing with hundreds and thousands of people is significantly different from internal testing with dozens. We encountered notable issues with stability and balance, but at the same time, we (and our esteemed playtesters) don't see any fundamental problems with the gameplay, so I think the game is in its final stage.

Nevertheless, the need to work on stability and optimization, as well as the vast amount of pre-release preparation, which includes producing trailers, marketing content, communication with content creators, and localization (we are grateful for the help of our language volunteers, but the volumes are simply very large) prompted us to start a collaboration with the fastest and smartest publisher of complex games on this planet - Hooded Horse, with whom we recently signed a publishing agreement for our game.

We discussed with the folks at Hooded Horse the best option for a release date, considering the need and size of the advertising campaign, the schedule of major releases in the spring, and the amount of necessary work on the game, which became clear after the playtests. We concluded that this will be May of this year. Since they want to run a large advertising campaign in these months, this will be the final date, which we will not be able to shift, much as we might want to. In addition, our partnership guarantees stability in the game's development and its long-term support for many years to come. We will announce a more precise date - the day of the EA release - later on.

In the remaining time, we intend to polish the game to a shine and also add some interesting things that will diversify the gameplay. In addition, we will continue external and internal testing, so you will have the opportunity to play the game before its release.

Thanks,
Dmitry
