Dear Pilots:

From now on, we will be putting new major features on the back burner for a while as we focus on bug fixes and improving existing features, with an emphasis on advancing the main story arc. The Trading System is an exciting addition to the game and we can't wait for our players to experience it.

I understand the importance of delivering new and exciting content, but I also recognize the value in refining and perfecting the features that are already in place. I will be dedicated to making sure that the core gameplay mechanics are running smoothly and that the main storyline remains engaging and immersive.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to bringing you the best possible gameplay experience.

Hey everyone!

The environment in URBO is not just about the appearance of biomes. We're aiming to deliver a more detailed reflection of the mood and stylistics of the in-game world. To do so, for each biome we choose settings of lighting, time of the day, and weather.

*URBO is still in development, the appearance of the game may change
