In light of this information, we have been working on a different project for a while, where the ‘player’ audience and everyone from seven to seventy can play with pleasure by changing our strategy. With our new game, we will create a brand that reaches large masses and has a permanent place in the lives of our players. This new and larger-scale investment made by our investors, whom we met during the seed investment tour, paves the way for our rapid growth with new teammates who will carry the working culture we have built forward. We will continue to do what we love most by increasing our momentum with this game, which is the first step of our long-term plans.”
