Dear friends and fans of my game, With a heavy heart I had to make the decision to release the game after three years of its development. It was a tough decision, since I did not have enough funds to bring the project to its final form. However, I believe that this is only the very beginning of our journey, and there is hope that the future will give us more opportunities to improve and expand the game. Due to limited resources, some content had to be temporarily removed in order to release the game. But I would like to assure you that this is not the end. My plan is to not only bring back this content, but to make it even better, more detailed than ever. In addition, I made another important decision. The Paleon game engine was written using Monogame, which is quite old and has a large number of shortcomings. It significantly slows down the game development process and prevents me from achieving a high-quality game. Thus, I have decided to transfer the game to the more modern and famous game engine Godot. This will allow me to implement many improvements and speed up development several times. Nevertheless, this does not mean that I will stop updating or fixing bugs in the current version of the game; I plan to do this while simultaneously transferring the game to Godot. I would like to thank you for your eternal support and faith in the project. Without you, none of this would have been possible. We are moving forward, and I am confident that the future of our game will be bright and exciting. Thank you for staying with us, and rest assured, the best is yet to come. Sincerely yours, Rick Technolithic. Features:
