Hello, everyone! I hope that everyone had a great holiday weekend and a great start to their Fall Festival!

I know that I had mentioned something about this a few months ago, but things kinda slid by and I never got around to it. So, I figured now's a good time to do it.

I know that Sylestia's development has been a bit sluggish as of late and I do sincerely apologize for that. I promise that I have zero plans to stop development on Sylestia and I am still fully planning to rework the game to someday reach my completed vision. I feel very confident in saying that Sylestia has something very magical and I think it has a ton of potential for significant growth.

A lot of the reason for our lower active playerbase has been due to me intentionally pulling basically all advertisement for the game for awhile now (last few years). This has saved me a lot of money (tens of thousands of dollars) and has greatly helped to keep the costs of running the game low while I rework so many core systems. But unfortunately, it also means that Sylestia gets very few new players and so attrition has kind of slowly decreased the playerbase year over year. However, I am still seeing great activity and interactions from our active players, so I do not have any concerns on that front. Even if our total active numbers are a lot lower than many years prior, we have a very solid core playerbase and you guys are amazing for that.

As most of you know, I am currently working on the Breeding Grounds update. It is a massive update that has now spanned many months of the year. I am getting close to its completion and am going to try and make the final push now over the next few weeks.

With all of that out of the way, I'd like to open this thread up to all of you to ask me whatever is on your mind regarding Sylestia! There are a few basic 'rules' I'll list below just to keep things within reason. I will do my best to answer all of your questions as quickly as I can.

Thank you all for your continued support of Sylestia's development and future. <3

3. Please read through the thread before asking your questions. If someone has already asked your question, please DO NOT ask it again. If you ask a repeated question, I probably won't answer you.
