New Cycle - _____._____

Dear Workers, Crafters, Specialists and Everyone Else,

As Core Engage, we were very excited about the first open demo process of New Cycle. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this organization, where we had the opportunity to meet with the masses for the first time through the Steam platform.
From the first day of the festival, we have gained tremendous joy and motivation in the face of your interest. We would like to thank everyone who gave New Cycle a chance during the demo rollout, played the demo and supported us with wishlists. As a small team developing its first game, receiving these bis of feedback has given us the excitement and enthusiasm we had all the way back on our first day.

A brief summary of gameplay data during the festival:

To date, 13,562 players from 125 countries have tried our demo with 21,862 different sessions.
The average gameplay time was 1 hour and 54 minutes.
There were 25,074 sandstorms in play sessions throughout the week.
1,774 player participated in our small poll at the end of the demo and our average rating was 4.78/5.

The intense interest you showed placed the New Cycle demo in both the popular "demos category" and the "popular future products" categories on Steam. Believing that the most precious resource that a person can share is time, we thank you again for giving us this opportunity.

We would also like to thank everyone who has reached out and provided feedback on all platforms. Every piece of feedback is extremely valuable to us and we are addressing each and every topic one by one, especially in terms of improving the gameplay. In this context, we have quickly started working on a series of minor revisions. We are ready to resolve any application-related problems directly by maintaining one-to-one communication in bug reports.

We hope to come to you with more good news in a short while.

Due to the earthquake disaster in our country, we have suspended our general activities for 10 working days. We appreciate your understanding for the delay in the announcement for this reason.Thank you for all your support and messages.
