Hello all,
This is just a quick post to inform you that a new version of the Launcher (v.0.2.7) has been released with changes to help users with slow download speeds.

Secondly, the Launcher can now divide downloads into parts and download thes...
2020-07-18 22:07:23 +0000 UTC View PostResolution of Legal Threat and Unpausing of Patreon
Hello everyone,
As a quick recap, on June 25th we received a threat of legal action against us over unauthorized use of copyrighted material from a past contractor. Over the next few days we ceased distribution of Mahou Arms, took steps to remove the material in question from the game, and attempted to communicate with the owner of the copyright. 2020-06-30 12:21:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello everyone,
I wanted to give you all an update on the progress we've made regarding the threat of legal action against us.
Since replying via email to the composer's initial threat, we have not received any further communication from them. However, using our version control system, we were able to compile a list of all assets the composer added or modified in the game. This has allo...
2020-06-27 22:00:43 +0000 UTC View PostTemporary Pausing of Patreon and MA Build Access Due to Legal Action
Hello everyone,
First, we've temporarily paused the Patreon, emailed Valve to temporarily remove the game from Steam, and temporarily made all builds of the game inaccessible. This is only a temporary measure. We are still developing the game and it will be available again in a month or two. Rewards will still be delivered for this month. You will not be charged for next month unless we resolve the issue before ...
