Hello everyone!

The moment has finally come. After more than a year in Early Access and an extra year of development before that, Card Survival is finally ready.

We want to give our personal thanks to all the people that helped us improve the game by reporting bugs and making suggestions, to those who helped our game reach more people by creating content about it, to those who have given us fuel by expressing their love for the game and really to all the people who've given Card Survival a try,
We are very happy that you all exist. <3

Short Term Plans:

Our plan for now is to continue fixing bugs as we find them and pushing hotfixes as usual while I try to get more exposure for the game.
We'll also continue filling in the survival guide for the next few weeks until it's complete, hopefully soon! (-_-u)

Later in the month we're going to be releasing game achievements and more importantly, a free limited version of the game for those who want to give Card Survival a try before buying it.

Then, once things are a bit more settled we'd like to take a short break to recover and our plan would be to later return with an update for Halloween that should include the new Mermaid character, as well as new features and perks. We'd also like to release our iOS and Mac versions around this time.

On the background we'll also start working on performance improvements and potentially looking into starting the localisation process.

Long Term Plans:

Like we've mentioned in the past, our idea is to continue updating Card Survival at a lower pace while we slowly shift our focus to our upcoming games, including the new Card Quest and the next game in the Card Survival series.

The amount of updates we release will most likely be dependent on what reception the game gets. So if you liked Card Survival and you like how we do things, consider leaving us a review and telling others about the game. These things can really go a long way and we need all the help we can get. :)
