[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]Since this update has just been released, we don't have a new development video to share this week. Instead, we'd like to talk about how our team reviewed the feedback you've been sending us and share the direction we've decided to take moving forward.[/p][p][/p][p]If you feel we've overlooked something or made the wrong call, please don't hesitate to let us know. We genuinely value your feedback, and if necessary, we'll revise our plans accordingly.[/p][p][/p][p]One important change we've made internally is reorganizing our development process. Rather than keeping a dedicated team focused solely on bug fixing and stabilization, every member of the development team is now contributing to improving the areas listed below while continuing to resolve bugs and increase overall stability.[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p]I've never developed a game like this before.[/p][p]Creating a game together with the community is a completely new experience for me, and one that I truly treasure. I even find myself telling my son about this journey quite often.[/p][p]Sometimes I see messages from people who are worried about me. Thank you, sincerely, for your kindness.[/p][p]Right now, I'm making the game I've always wanted to create.[/p][p]Of course, this game could fail. Life doesn't always unfold according to our plans. But I'm not sure "failure" is really the right word.[/p][p]I once read a sentence in a book that has stayed with me:[/p][p][/p][p]"We suffer because of the standards we create for ourselves."[/p][p][/p][p]I believe life isn't something that has to prove itself by meeting a certain standard. It's something we're here to experience. The moment I truly accepted that, many of the worries and expectations that once weighed on me began to fade.[/p][p]Please continue sharing your thoughts and feedback with us.[/p][p]We'll continue listening with sincerity.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you.
