Devblog (March)

Hello everyone!

I've never been so excited to write a Devblog. Not because this month was good, but exactly the opposite - I'm just glad to be alive and have the opportunity to write something here.

Exactly a month ago a big war came to my country. I think there is no person on the Internet now who has not heard about the terrible events taking place in Ukraine. I will not talk much about what is happening, you can see everything for yourself, just google "Kharkiv" or "Mariupol".

I will also not urge you to donate to Ukraine - if you could and wanted to do this, then you probably already did. However, if you want to help but don't know how, PM me on Patreon or Discord and I'll recommend trusted funds. 

My mother works as a volunteer, helping to distribute humanitarian aid to refugees who have come to our Community. Help comes from all over Europe, yesterday we received a large cargo from Italy. Very often, along with things, we find letters, including those written by children, and this is always very touching. I just want to say thank you to everyone who supports us.

You can also support us, the developers specifically, by making a custom pledge, making an annual pledge (you'll also get a discount), or simply by leveling up your Tier. Even just to stay subscribed, despite the small amount of content already means a lot to us.

Now let's talk more about the game and our plans. It's very difficult to make plans when the air raid siren becomes a daily soundtrack, but at the moment all the developers are kinda safe, so we'll work on the game while we can.

Now our main focus will be the release of global update 0.3.0. I already told on Twitter and Discord that I lost the last build and developer tools during the evacuation. Luckily, the 0.3.0 update was handled by a different person, so our progress wasn't affected. Now we simply have no other choice but to put all our efforts into releasing this update. I won't list the full list of changes just yet, but trust me, we are planning to improve every technical aspect of the game.

I also know that many of you have encountered bugs with paid features (such as a 403 error when trying to login in-game). We can't fix it yet, because the old build we have is the same as yours, and the new one isn't ready yet, but we plan to compensate you for the inconvenience caused. Stay tuned for further announcements.

Speaking of content, we didn't order any new art this month (for obvious reasons), but we did order some before the war started. Look at the sketch. Yes, another snow leopard. Do you think Ai'Lu will be happy to see a competitor?

Other previously announced and promised content is also in development, or will be in development once we're done with the 0.3.0 update.

Thank you for your attention, I hope to see you soon!
