Hello everyone! I'd like to share an update regarding the current state of Forebloomed, as well as give some insight on where I'm currently at. As of right now, future updates for Forebloomed are on indefinite pause for the foreseeable future. I know this may not be the most desirable thing to hear, particularly after we shared a roadmap for future planned content. The simple reason for this decision is that game development requires a LOT of free time to successfully maintain, and, at the moment, I just do not have that time. As it stands, I do not think it is likely that I will be returning to Forebloomed anytime soon. There's a small chance I might, but I strongly anticipate that any time I might have for game development in the near future is more likely to be focused on something new instead. I'd like to thank everyone in the community for supporting the game and sharing their enjoyment of it. Your support has made so many of my days even brighter! I'm very happy to answer any questions regarding this game or future projects if you have any to ask, so please feel free. Otherwise, thank you all, and I hope to see you soon! - Cloudy Games

The roadmap for the game is now available These are 3 major updates I'll be working on from now on with the goal of improving the overall gameplay loop and increasing the amount of content to see in the game! The plans that are set up already are really exciting and I can't wait until I can start working on them! In the meanwhile I'll keep fixing any issues that may come up and get controller support fully working Also, thanks for the amazing launch! It really surpassed my expectations! And a special thanks to everyone who gave a positive review for the game. You all made my day!
