• We successfully concluded our pre-order phase with nearly 9,500 orders, showcasing the strong anticipation and support from the community. We had hoped for around this much, and thanks to all who backed us early. It made a difference.
  
• We achieved a new record with 13,275 daily active users on Steam, surpassing our previous high of 4,743 during the Suzerain 2.0 update.
  
• We broke the December 2020 Suzerain launch concurrent player record of 1,049 with 3,382 players playing simultaneously in the launch phase. That is more than 3x.
  
• Sales have been robust from both new and existing players, indicating a strong and healthy Suzerain Universe base. Our bundles, in particular, have seen significant uptake, highlighting the appeal of an expanding universe.
  
• Post-launch, player engagement has remained impressive, with sustained daily active users and consistent interest in the game and DLC. The nature of Rizia’s game design and a new place in the universe heavily contributed to this.
  
• The enthusiasm of our community extends beyond purchases. The invaluable feedback and interaction we've received are guiding our future development and improvements. With your support, we are moving quicker and better. Our public bug reporting system is highly efficient, and we welcome your contributions with an open heart and mind.
  

• Torpor exhausted a significant amount of its reserves to be able to make the launch, we gave it our all, and there were points when we had doubts and worked under pressure due to the realities of financial and resource constraints.
  
• Two key team members fell ill in the launch prep and launch phase, adding further resource challenges to our production. They are all healthy and back now!
  
• Additionally, our old office abruptly decided to shut down in March, and we had to move offices the week of the launch and prepare before it. The transition to a new office during this crucial time caused a slight delay in our operations.
  
• We became fully operational with a day's delay, and after a relentless five-month stretch, some team members needed a well-deserved break during Easter weekend.
  

• Our immediate focus is addressing critical bug fixes, improving game flow, and resolving technical issues impacting some players.
  
• Given that Rizia is our most ambitious project yet, with multiple connected features and stories, it presents unique technical and design challenges. Even with our closed testing of 5 waves across 6 months with over 45 testers, some issues still slipped us.
  
• Our efforts over the coming weeks and months will be dedicated to resolving issues, making improvements, and adding polish to the game. Torpor Games has the most work-hour resources ever, even more than Suzerain’s post-launch, so we expect a faster improvement cycle.
  
• We're committed to making Rizia an exemplary experience. Make it consistent and better. Our systematic approach to tackling these tasks assures us that our dedication will be evident in the improved quality of the DLC.
  
• We will also use this period of heightened activity and the following period to deal with issues that still exist in base Suzerain so both of our experiences shine.
  
• After the post-launch support period, we will work on bringing technical and platform parity to the mobile and switch platforms, so all Suzerain fans enjoy things nearly at the same time.
