First of all, we've encountered diverse complicate situations until the release of the game. But we were able to win over these intense situations with an adamantine effort that had put into our works. And of course, we've done it in own way. Just like our beloved consumers waiting for the game launch with their passion, we've watched things that are going on after the game launch. At the time we were very nervous, and as expected, people have brought out a lot of concerns from positive to negative feedback. And after, have admitted that DEATH FIELD has a long way to go.
We already have admitted on this before the game launch, but people have pointed out pretty much clear. However, we will eventually develop the game as, how we have visualized the final version of the game. Just as a lot of you have sent us feedback, suggestions and bug fixes and stuff, DEATH FIELD has a long way to go, until you see its final version of the gameplay. Like we said earlier, we know this better than anyone. So what we will be coming up with is, we will be revealing our roadmap for the development (including updates). We are currently planning internally for how we should share information with you. The announcement regarding this would bring out for next week.
We will be developing DEATH FIELD along with you guys.
Just give us as many feedback and suggestions as possible.
Thank you.
