Werte Bosse! (english Version below) Zuerst einmal möchte ich für die lange Wartezeit auf den vorliegenden Build 13 von Oil Enterprise um Entschuldigung bitten, nicht zuletzt durch das positive Feedback aus der Community sind wir zuversichtlich, dass unser Spiel bald den "Releasefähigen Zustand" erreicht haben wird, und sind daher schon in den Vorbereitungen dafür.
