An update on the launch of The Perfect Pencil

Hi everyone,

first of all, we wanted to thank you for the incredible support and enthusiasm you've shown for The Perfect Pencil since its announcement. Reading your comments and seeing your reactions is the biggest motivation for our team.

Today, we are sharing an important update on our journey toward launch.

With the end of summer, we've taken stock of the development progress and carefully went over the release schedule for the coming months. As you know, our goal has always been to present you with The Perfect Pencil at its the best, in order to offer you an experience you won't forget.

The fall release landscape is shaping up to be incredibly packed with fantastic games, many of which we can't wait to play ourselves.

For this very reason, and to ensure that The Perfect Pencil meets the highest quality standards and gets the space and attention it deserves, we have made the strategic decision to move the launch window to early 2026.

This was not an easy choice for us, but we believe that it is the best one for our game and for you, our community.

The extra time gives us a valuable opportunity: it will allow us not only to polish the game, but to also integrate at launch new features and content that we had originally planned for the post-launch support. The result will be a richer and more complete game for you to enjoy from day one.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding. We really believe that we are creating something special, and we can't wait to show you!
