Now, the future of Raccoon Warfare 😔

Let’s cut to it: It’s been a long journey with this project, but it’s definitely noticeable that progress has reached almost a stall since the first release a year ago.

Why?

• Not enough resources such as time, developers, interest, etc.
• Built on a mediocre engine with many shortcomings, the most significant being how time-consuming it is to add more code on something designed for smaller projects

Future paths:

• The game receives updates after several months addressing bugs and glitches (most likely)
• The game is migrated to another engine for easier maintenance and with a team to develop it

There is also a roadmap for the game, but it will most likely not be implemented in current conditions. The roadmap may be attached to the much dreaded Final Update (duhn-duhn-duhhh).

So yep, to conclude, please try out the game and share bugs, and there will be some maintenance going on.

And remember, this game was inspired by, built for, and uploaded for you, the players, so please enjoy! 🥹 And get those raccoons! 🦝
