While the game is now completed content-wise, we are at the stage of having finished major development operations months after originally planned. This is the result of a couple of technical issues that came up and had to be figured out as well as the addition of a couple of late-stage features that were added as the result of feedback from testers.

Unfortunately, this has thrown off our beta testing, copy editing, and QA timeline by months.

Our beta testers have done a great job and I am very happy with what they have accomplished so far. Our copy editor has been doing a great job and working hard to deliver excellent results. This delay is NOT the fault of the QA team.

At its core, it's because we expanded the scope of the game by expanding features, adding some entirely new features, and adding more content. I think these additions were worth the delay and resulted in a much better game. I think adding the features we did was the right thing to do.

We could maybe have tried to rush the QA at the end here to make the release date but I have decided not to do that. I have decided in the interest of the players and to honor the work that has already been put into the game, to not rush the QA team, and to take the time needed to do it right.

I apologize to anyone who feels negatively impacted by this delay and ask you to allow us this additional time to ensure quality gameplay.

The original launch date of November 3rd, 2022 is now delayed until Feb 3rd, 2023 to allow for beta testing, QA, and polish work to be completed.
