Hey there everyone, apologies for the radio silence. We haven"t abandoned the game I promise! Quite the contrary!! (truth is im just awful at remembering to make posts with what I"m up to)

I know everyone is itching to know what"s been going on since launch. And the answer is a complicated one that I"ll first sum it up with a single phrase, A LOT.

First and foremost I want to address issue number one, our launch. It wasn"t great, bugs were an issue for sure but also people struggled with mechanics that weren"t polished. That"s on me. As a solo dev this has been a learning experience. So I decided to take in all the feedback, the bugs etc and come up with a plan to revamp the game as a whole. This ended in a very large series of adjustments.

So what does this mean? Expect a very different gameplay experience with the next big update. Combat changes, character changes, some dialogue changes, UI updates and adjustments, settings updates etc. This is a massive undertaking and one I was very scared to pursue, but as I"ve always said, I want the game to be it"s best even if I"m not always able to get there I will continue to try. All that being said, this is a battle of time and I will not make the same mistakes regarding bug testing before I approve this update to be put out. I"m fully aware everyone is eager and waiting, but I"ve no intention of rushing this one out until it has been thoroughly bug tested and tested again. This means that I do not have a date for release, but it will be as soon as possible.

With this next update, it will likely be the last major update (barring any bugs) to the game and with that it will go through final approval to Nintendo Switch. I want to be honest with you all, this will not be a game that goes on to additional DLC or anything of that nature. Once the game is final, any updates will just be patches for minor things. That does NOT mean however that Critter Crops dies here. I have many plans to expand the franchise to additional games beyond this one, and with the knowledge I"ve gained through making this first game, I"m quite excited for that future.

Just want to thank you all for the support and help in this rocky road. Making games is tough, and doing it alone is even tougher. So having an awesome support network from you all has been a life saver.

As a tiny sneak peak, I"ll share this image with you so you have something to look forward to!
