Hey everyone!
We would like to apologize for our short absence over the past two weeks. So here is an update on the development situation. Panos (the artist) is still working on settling in somewhere and is still unable to work on artwork at the moment. It is looking like he will be settled in by the end of next week but we can make no promises and in the meantime, we'll keep you posted.
The reason I (Seabass, the programmer) have not posted any updates over the past two weeks is because I was taking a bit of time off after handling updates and the community mostly myself for last month while Panos was away. I'd like to clarify that Panos has not abandoned the project and is actually still very passionate and motivated to work on it (as am I). I just had a lot to handle by myself last month after adding Steam Workshop support, the new calendar system, and the user music player. It was back-to-back major changes/features alongside bug reports and replying to users in the community, I just needed time to breath and refresh myself.
I am ready to return to Rock God Tycoon and continue adding more content as well as make balance changes. There are lots of suggestions we have seen from this amazing community and have added them to the development roadmap and you can expect to see some of them implemented soon. We know minor events seem lacking once you reach the mid to late game so I plan to work on more of those as well. There are currently something like 30 events but I'm sure I can come up with at least a few more alongside doing other things with the project.
Since Panos is not available just yet I can not fully flesh out major features like Festivals or Sponsors. I will be working on the code behind most of it though and getting it ready in preparation of his return.
Panos (the artist) isn't back yet but will be soon hopefully. I took a break for about two weeks but I'm back and will be working on Rock God Tycoon again as of now.
