Announcement of the Launch of "Anchors:Blockade Zone Prologue"!

Cliché Introduction:
After a journey of nearly three years, our small team of just six people has gone through countless hardships to finally bring our game, "Anchors:Blockade Zone" to everyone. This game is not just a culmination of our sweat and tears but also embodies our boundless passion and dedication to the art of gaming.

Straight from the Heart:
Fellow big shots, after this update, our game's functionalities are essentially complete, and the main storyline has been finalized. As a conscientious developer, your pancake teacher—Mr. Qin—has essentially fulfilled the boasts I made in the QQ group!

Cliché Journey:
In this extraordinary journey, I transitioned from a game enthusiast to a game developer. Alongside my team, we faced countless challenges and difficulties. From the departure of our lead programmer twice to the delay in paying team members' salaries (which has now reached three months), we've walked on the brink of bankruptcy at nearly every step. Despite this, we persevered because we shared a common dream: to create a high-quality independent game truly for the players.

Straight from the Heart:
Transforming from a player to a game developer, maintaining this small team of six over almost three years, dealing with our lead programmer's departure twice, and facing numerous instances of delayed salaries due to financial constraints (owing three months' worth of wages as of today). Arguing countless times for the players' experience against programmers who knew nothing but coding, every day felt like teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. What kept me going was nothing but the desire to create a fun independent game that does justice to the players. Thus, I've always promised to forgo early access; we aim to launch only the complete version!

Cliché Announcement:
This Saturday at 9:00 AM, we will release "Anchors:Blockade Zone Prologue" on the Steam platform. We chose not to go with early access but to wait until the game is fully completed because we believe only the best product deserves our players. Indeed, I spared no expense for this dream, even mortgaging everything I own.

Straight from the Heart:
Even though I'm at a low point in life, I can proudly say I've never lost sight of my initial intent. Everyone knows independent games don't make much money. Some advised me to create a freemium mobile game for quick monetization. But I, too, was once a player; I didn't want other players to point at me and say:
Look, Mr. Qin has bowed down, just like a dog!

Cliché Purpose:
This isn't about seeking sympathy but to share my story, hoping to highlight the struggles behind independent gaming and our love and dedication to creation. We hope to gain your support and feedback during Saturday's test. It will not only help us gain more attention and inform more people about our game but also allow us to identify and correct any deficiencies promptly.

Straight from the Heart:
I'm not trying to gain pity, just stating facts. I've mortgaged my house, my car, and even my wife(Just kidding), all to perfect this game! It's my dream and a step towards realizing an even bigger dream. (In the future, I want to create more games to let more people know about our history, our culture)

Cliché Invitation:
Please join our test this Saturday, experience "Anchors:Blockade Zone" and provide us with your valuable feedback. Every click and every piece of advice is the greatest support and encouragement for us. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

Straight from the Heart:
I hope my supportive friends can log on this Saturday to help test the prologue and leave a positive review. This way, we can gain more attention, let more people know about our game, increase exposure; and simultaneously, use this opportunity to detect any shortcomings in our game that we can quickly rectify.
Sincerely,
Your beloved pancake teacher,
A conscientious producer,
A super debtor,
Still optimistic daily and unwilling to see the world's sufferings,
Mr. Qin
