- Future Update - 16 December 2020
Hi everyone, We wanted to give you an update on the state of the game and where we are in development. We appreciate things have been quiet for the past 6 weeks or so since our last update which introduced offline bot matches and siege support for AI. As a team, we have been working on Prime and Load without a break for over 3 years now while also balancing it with university, jobs, family and so on. We have been using the last few weeks to step back, take a bit of a break and re-evaluate the game and the direction it needs to go. Fundamentally, we know that the game has not been a success and a lot of this has been down to us: awful technical problems at launch, naivety in handling communications, mistakes made in our project management, and just a general lack of experience and resources. The question now is: where do we go from here? This has been a difficult decision to make, but we…
