Greeting Artists!
It's been a week, give or take a few days, since Break Arts II was released. The game's sales are vastly outpacing both ours and Playism's expectations. In fact, the game is on the verge of passing our own lifetime sales expectations little over a week in, which comes as tremendously welcome news.
Both we and Playism are deeply grateful for your support.
However, we cannot dismiss that many players are being inconvenienced by various bugs. While these bugs are the result of a multitude of circumstances, ultimately the responsibility falls on our inexperienced shoulders. For which we'd like to take the opportunity to express our sincerest apologies.
