June 21 Weekly Update: Focused Development on the Hakurei Empire

Hello everyone! This is Tenkajin IceCream, developer of TOHOTOPIA!

Here is the development progress from my partner and me for this week (June 15-21).

Overview

To put it simply, this week's development can be summed up in one sentence: all of our energy has been focused on developing the Hakurei Empire, and we estimate it is now about 60% complete.

If things go smoothly, the new faction, the Hakurei Empire, will be ready to meet everyone before the end of June.

I also want to apologize: last week's 0.7.4 version still has quite a few bugs, translation errors, and balance issues, but we did not release a new patch this week. Considering the current development progress and how our time is allocated, my partner and I decided to use these two weeks, June 15-27, to finish the Hakurei faction in one push and present it before the end of June. After that, we will focus on a new round of bug fixes, optimization, and balance adjustments. Of course, if we discover any bug that seriously affects playability, we will start fixing it immediately!

Thank you all for your support!
