- I Hate Business – Free To Play Time - 23 June 2023
After a few years of trying to produce video games for fun and finances it turns out I am not a business minded person and building games with the end goal of profit removes all the fun out of designing and making games for me. Because of this I will be making my games free to play from now on and will be moving back to doing this for fun and enjoyment. I do apologise to all those who have purchased and supported me in developing my games over the past few years and I hope you will accept my reasoning and a few special in-game items as compensation.

Update News In this update we see a few updates to the character system as we prepare for the introduction of our new Player and NPC models, along with some texture updates that should hopefully resolve some blurry images that keep reappearing every now and again. Apart from the story/quests we are close to having the majority of the systems we had planned for the game implemented and just waiting for the UI rework we will be moving to a 6 Month update cycle(these may come sooner who knows) to allow us to spend more time on our art assets as we work towards polishing off the existing systems and give us more time to develop the final world the players will experience. This is all subject to change and if we see an increase in funding hopefully it will allow us to pick up the pace.
