Hey everyone,
[p][/p][p]We have a lot to talk about today, and we want to be completely transparent with you about what has been happening behind the scenes.[/p][p][/p]???? What Happened Behind the Scenes
[p][/p][p align="start"]As many of you may know, most of our art team is based in Iran, while I (the main developer), one concept artist, and the animators are located elsewhere.[/p][p][/p][p align="start"]Over the past year there have unfortunately been several major events in that region:[/p]- [p]The war in June 2025[/p][/*]
- [p]The protests in December 2025[/p][/*]
- [p]And now another ongoing war this month[/p][/*]
