Good morning, everyone!

In February, we made extensive improvements to the in-game development system, and the updated version has been launched. While there are still some details to fine-tune, our focus for the March update will shift to the game’s peripheral systems. (If progress allows, we may even catch the Spring Sale event.)

Currently, we are not satisfied with the performance of the clinic system, and we’ve received player suggestions to add a talent-based development system. Our development team will also continue to explore innovations in storytelling and related content.

We welcome all your suggestions and look forward to discussing them with you!
