Hello everyone

We ran into some issues that needed to be fixed first. We've found harshly fps drop in sawmill and village scene. Which is caused by 3D models. And this will delay the update for about a week, i do apologize for that.

Also.. for Zone 2 landscape, it's still ongoing. We couldn't make it in time and still unable to update at first. (you can see some blocking town zone progress down below.)

We've uploaded a teaser patch 0.5.0, Which has some new features and a brand new overhaul map and landscape. check out the teaser here ->

We will release patch 0.5.0 on October 31 2021 Thank you for your understanding and support.

Hello everyone,

I would like to inform you that it is necessary to postpone the release of 0.5.0 Patch to the next month (25th Oct)

Even though we have been pushing forward our effort to catch up the schedule, we are not able to keep on the plan. The landscape in area 2 and 3D buildings work is quite a lot and I don't think it can be done in time. I need just one more month to complete.

I would like to release the 0.5.0 patch to the next month. Which is on 25 October 2021.
Hope you guys understand, and thank you for your patience.
