Hello Officers,
2019 is coming to an end and we'll be releasing one last update for this year. It's been a year of ups and downs. We went from DMCA-ing our own game to winning Best Strategy Game from Tencent GWB.
For now, we continue our march towards the 1.0 release next year in 2020. It's been a great journey so far and we couldn't have done it without you. Our core focus for next year will be wrapping up the gameplay content and focus on polishing the game. So look forward to it!
For this update, you'll catch a glimpse on how we're trying to improve the overall experience of Eximius. We did an initial pass on QoL improvement. Do let us know what you guys think about it.
Finally, sign up for the upcoming Winter Tournament on January 10th. There are cash prizes to be won this time around. So squad up, sign up and we'll see you next year. Merry Xmas and a Happy new Year!
