Dev Journal 7/20! Game Release Coming Soon!
Today, we change history. Up until now, we have been quiet. Too quiet. That. Stops. Now. With this video we start our commitment to being more vocal and interactive with our community. So please check it out here👇 https://youtu.be/cgU-YeVvD-I
To cater to the wide range of people playing our game, we have added subtitles in English, Japanese, and Chinese. The more support we get from other languages, the more international we’ll make these posts moving forward. Junghun Lee, the president of Hike, Inc. Korea, Jungwoo Lee, the main project leader for Anvil, and Wonho Son, the producer from Action Square, discuss in detail about the past, present, and future of Anvil.
This includes the transition of the game's publishing from CREST to HIKE, which was undertaken to enhance the player experience and provide better resources for the game. There are sincere apologies for the recent lack of updates and communication, and a solid promise of improvements based on your invaluable feedback.
The most thrilling part? Anvil is going to be officially released at the end of July, with a ton of updates! Expect fewer crashes, better multiplayer, and a brand-new exciting PVP mode! Plus, we have a new character, new toy workers and skins, and much more waiting for you! And yes, we heard your feedback loud and clear. Our Discord server has been updated, and we invite you to join for active, direct communication with our team. We're also planning exciting collaborations for the future, and we're eager to hear your suggestions about which games and characters you'd like to see included.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your unwavering support. We look forward to continuing this exciting journey with you!
Check out the video for the full story. Stay tuned, Breakers! Game on! 🎮
