- News on development - 28 May 2019
Hi there, We are really sorry about the long silence. For many reasons, the last update got delayed (seeking for an editor to port the game on consoles took us a lot of time and resources and the programmer of the team has to face a personal tragedy). But don't worry, things are going well for the game : it is now features complete, we just need to finish QA testing on Linux and Mac versions to release the update. We are really glad we had some exposure on Funhaus, we didn't expect that ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC56L6Inb_M We'll be back to you very soon !
