[hr][/hr]???? A Message from the Dev
[p align="start"]I know many of you are expecting more community interaction — and I truly appreciate that. But please understand, I’m currently the [b]only programmer[/b] working on Astrometica. On top of that, I also handle [b]team management, business operations, and company tasks[/b], which doesn’t leave me with much time to stay active on Steam or social platforms.[/p][p align="start"]We don’t have a full time community manager or additional programmers yet — so my top priority is to [b]focus on developing the game itself[/b], because that’s what I love most.[/p][p align="start"]All I ask is for a little [b]patience[/b]. Every day I’m working hard to make Astrometica better for you all.[/p][hr][/hr]???? New Yuna Vehicle
