With the support of our new partner, KRAFTON, and the ongoing teamwork with old friends GEM Capital and The Games Fund, we now have all the resources needed to bring our ambitious vision to life. It is not only an opportunity to finish a unique, strong product. It is important for us to narrate this incredible story through different games, opening with an alternative apocalyptic Wild West setting,”.
