The next update is in QA

Hello everyone:

I wanted to give you an honest update on where things stand.

The next update is finished on my end and is currently going through QA validation. Once it clears, it goes live. I'm deliberately not giving a date — every time I have, something broke the day after and I ended up regretting it. What I can say is that I'm in the final stretch.

I won't go through the changes one by one, but I'll give you the broad strokes, because this one deserves it. This is, by a wide margin, the largest update I've ever put together: The complete lore is in. Not fragments, not teasers — the full story is now woven into the game,

and it recontextualizes a lot of what you've already seen. Alongside it there are secrets to discover: things that aren't marked, aren't explained, and won't be found by rushing. Some of them I genuinely expect to stay hidden for a long time, and I'm looking forward to watching you prove me wrong.

Beyond that, there's new content across the board, systems that have been reworked from the ground up, and fixes for things you've been reporting for a long time. If you've played before, it won't just feel bigger — it will feel different, in ways I'd rather you find out for yourselves.

I'll be honest with you: this has been a long and tedious process. Being a solo developer, when an update touches this many parts of the game at once, everything has to be tested against everything else, and QA is being strict about it — as it should be. It's slow and it's not glamorous, but I'd much rather ship this late than ship it broken.

If you want to follow the process more closely, Discord is where I post first: QA progress, what passed, what got sent back. You can find us here: https://discord.gg/HPHYN3Ffum

Thank you for your patience. Knowing there are people waiting for this is a big part of what keeps me going.

See you soon, hope you enjoy all my effort
