| 1.0 Delayed until August 11 | 2023-07-17 | Okay so, bad news I'm afraid. We gotta delay, LAST TIME, I SWEAR. But trust us, it will be totally worth it. In short, the game is complete from start to finish. We technically could release now, but we felt we need a little more time to resolve a lot of other things. We are not 100% there with some of the optimization and level flow. The multiplayer suite is still a little rusty (needs more options) and the amount of bugs I've encountered in the campaign I feel are a little much. That, coupled with the last delay of Ep 3 Part 1, had a flow on effect with this one Another reason for the delay, and I usually don't bring up my personal life, bu |
