- 2023 Magin: TRPS Developement Plans! - 14 March 2023
Hello everyone! As some of you might know, 2023 is the year we'll finally be launching our much-anticipated game! While we're not ready to share a specific release date just yet, rest assured it won't be in the next week. We want to give you ample time to prepare for the big day, so don't worry :D (Some say it's somewhere around Q3 - Q4) Currently, our team is hard at work integrating a significant portion of the game's content into the latest build. As it stands, we have quite a fewl hours' worth of story gameplay implemented for internal testing purposes. In terms of production, we're focused on creating assets for the latter half of the game and its ending. Alongside this, we're refining some of our older assets and adding extra flair, some of that sweet juice, such as additional environmental animations, animals etc. As the release date draws closer, we'll also be dedicating some ef…
