You're right of course. My apologies.

Big news and a new patch for this game:

Back in December 2023, I released this game with so much passion and excitement. But the reality? It was buggy as hell - and many of you were frustrated, disappointed, and rightfully upset.

I saw every comment, every review, every piece of feedback. I didn't just read them - I felt them. And as months passed, after countless patches trying to fix things, I had to face a harsh truth:

The game needed more than just patches. It needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.

At that moment, I had a choice. I could abandon it, start fresh with a new project, and try to move on... or I could own my mistakes, stay true to my word, and do right by the players who believed in this game.

I chose the hard path - the right path. Instead of making a new game and charging again, I rebuilt everything as a free update. No extra cost. No tricks. Just me doing what I should have done from the start.

What's New?
💡 Brand-New UI & UX – A complete overhaul to make navigation smoother, clearer, and more intuitive.
⚙️ Reworked Core Mechanics – Major gameplay changes to improve balance, pacing, and overall experience.
📌 Every Feedback, Every Detail – I went through every single review, comment, and suggestion to fix, tweak, and enhance the game based on what YOU wanted.

This isn't just an update. This is the version the game was meant to be. A fresh start for all of us.

I Need Your Help 🙏
If you enjoy this new version, the best way you can support me is by leaving a review on Steam. I cannot express how much it means - it will literally help save the game.

To everyone who gave this game a second chance
Thank you.
To those who were disappointed before
I hope this version makes it up to you
To those who have been here since day one
You are the reason I kept going

This is where the journey truly begins.
Let's start again - together.

Much love,
Lotous21

Hello Everone,

We're thrilled to announce our Global Timing Schedule - the final update before the full global release on March 1st. For many of you who have followed our journey, you know that our December 2023 launch encountered its share of challenges, from bugs and save game issues to UX flow difficulties. For those new to our community, here's a brief recap: our initial launch faced technical hurdles that prevented many players from enjoying the full potential of our world of warfare and economics.

Over the past year, we've dedicated ourselves to a complete rewrite of the game. While many of you are already aware of this transformation, we want to ensure that every player understands the magnitude of the improvements made. Our goal has been simple - to deliver a faster, more stable, and engaging gaming experience that addresses the issues of our previous release.

What's New?
Enhanced Performance:
Enjoy significantly reduced load times and a more responsive gaming experience. We've optimized every aspect of the game to ensure smoother gameplay.

Stability Improvements
Our rigorous testing and complete overhaul mean fewer crashes and technical glitches, providing you with a more reliable experience.

Revamped UX & Game Design
We've reimagined the user interface and key game elements. This overhaul not only makes the game more intuitive for new players but also deepens the strategic and economic layers for veterans.

Global Timing Schedule
Our global community is at the heart of this game, and we want to make sure that every player, regardless of time zone, can enjoy the release seamlessly. The schedule is designed to account for various regions—from North America to Europe, Asia, and beyond. Please check the detailed timing schedule on our Steam update page to see the exact release window for your region.



This is our final pre-release update. By sharing the schedule today, we're marking the countdown to a new era in our game - a game that has been reborn from its previous incarnation into a more robust, engaging, and polished experience.

A Heartfelt Thank You
Your feedback has been instrumental throughout this journey. Every bug report, suggestion, and word of encouragement has helped us shape a game that truly meets your expectations. We're proud of the progress we've made, and we're excited for you to experience all the improvements firsthand.

We invite both new players and returning veterans to join us on March 1st. Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready to step into a world where strategy, warfare, and economics collide in an entirely reimagined experience.

Thank you for your continued support. We can't wait to see you on the battlefield!

EDIT:
I've received some messages asking if this is the 1.0 release - it's not!
The new version will launch with version 0.88, meaning it's still in development and counted as Early Access

So, you tried the "new" game after the dev rebuilt it with the March 1 release?

I'm curious too. Most seem to be saying the new update dramatically improved the game.

Solops and Jarhead,

The game is $15 dollars right now, I can think of worse things to spend 15 dollars on.  While the new update did improve some of the mechanics and the UI, no I don't think it is anywhere close to ready for release.  It's one of those games were the general consensus is this could be a great game / game has great potential.

Somewhere I thought I read they were moving to release the final version, maybe I read that wrong somewhere.  If the game remains in EA and the updates continue to address the concerns and add in features then I have no issues with it.

The developer seems to have good intentions but the game has a rocky history.  Post this major patch you would think you would see tons of videos on youtube, but I can only find 1. That would concern me if this were my game.

The latest patch is a step in the right direction, it's $15 bucks, what the hell do you have to lose other than $15 bucks :)

There have been more patches, including a big one today. I still have not played, but the dev seems to be making a real effort. Would someone who does play please keep us posted on the state of the game? It reminds me of an old play-by-mail game I played as a kid in the 1970s called Nuclear Destruction.

I own it, but uninstalled awhile back due to the incomplete nature of the game.  I'm reinstalling now, as the developer is making efforts to finish the game.  With that said, I probably won't get a chance to play until after 1 May.
