Still Going
Small update for now just to let everyone know that the game hasn't been abandoned and never will be. Like I said before, this was and is a life-long passion project that continues to grow, even in cases where we get a little too busy with our day jobs and disappear for awhile! We could work on it full-time if we had the funding but so far sales have only slowed and investors only want to rip us off still. This project will reach standing ovation with or without them. Gamers who fell in love with the golden era of gaming will always have CPGN to look forward to!
