Good day, fellow engineers!
Even though Pistonica hasn’t been released yet, we’re working hard behind the scenes. We’re constantly testing, listening to feedback, and refining the game.
We want to start sharing more of what we’re working on, especially with those of you who are testing the game, but also with everyone else eagerly waiting to play Pistonica. We’re excited to bring you along for the journey!
