News | Update 0.33 (Patreon)

Hello there, gamers! Winter has come to an end, and now March replaces February, and we're still going strong!

We're not empty-handed today, but it's not something you want to hear. We regret to inform you that the long-awaited update will have to be delayed for a while. Why? Oh, as usual - those pesky problems that never want to leave us alone! In trying to find a quiet place to create for our favorite players, we just can't keep up with the pace. Imagine this, in order to secure better working conditions, you have to lose the ones you have completely first! But that's not all.

You won’t believe it, but a new great artist joined our team (the “Old horse” scene is one of their works), and though we are amazed at what this could bring to the game, we first need to “find a common language” and figure out how to best work together. Which is why one of the scenes for the next update is a bit behind schedule. But another unexpected problem has befallen us, one that has clearly hit where it hurts! Our scriptwriter got sick, but thank the Swarm, it all worked out, she's better now, but time has been wasted, which means now we have to catch up! We won't go into details, but overall she's much better now.

Another thing that is being worked on intensively, but which is so secret that not even everyone on the team knows about it! That's why we can't tell you about it yet, because we don't want to jinx it. But Arthur will tell everything himself when it happens. Keep your fingers crossed for him!

The next issue was that our artist had to move urgently, and of course he was out of schedule for a week and a half... But then it got more interesting, it turns out that where he moved, there was no way to reliably connect to the Internet. Yes, there are still places in 2023 that don't use internet. Of course, that was a surprise even to us. He is actively fixing this problem, and hopefully soon everything will be back on track. (Due to the lack of reliable internet, we delayed the speedart column, as there is no way to transfer all the massive files).

As a result, it turns out that our two artists cannot keep up with the pace of development, and one of the main "arteries" of our team needs a little rest in order to start working productively again. We don't think the update will take too long, and we'll do everything we can to make sure it does as little as possible. In any case, you won't be bored - we have a lot more to show you.. Granted, it won't replace a full-fledged patch, but it's just a matter of time!

But that's all for today, we want to thank our patient fans and wish them to stay as strong as they are!❤️

Yours,
Shadow Portal Team
