As usual, we'd like to start with an appreciation message to our community for their continued support of our team and 2P Games’. All the things we achieved over the Early Access stage have been possible thanks to your valuable feedback and your enthusiasm for Immortal Life, so thank you very much for choosing us once more. We can't wait to bring more content for you to have fun in its magic world! [h2]Road to the Foundation stage: what’s happening now?[/h2] We've spent the past few weeks optimizing the game's code and extending the current features with new content like the Foundation stage. It was first mentioned in the past Sunset Inn Message board and our Community Q&A. This cultivation phase is very important for us since we'd like to design new features around this specific stage and create a strong connection between them. That's why we took so long to make it perfect. To ensure this content will have the highest quality, all the updates developed in the next two months will be released exclusively in our Alpha branch. As your opinion is very important for us to create a great game, we're sincerely looking forward to learning what you think about this. If you're interested in joining the test branch, please read these instructions first before taking any action. We know it’s the longest development and testing period we’ve ever had in the history of the game, so we apologize for the inconvenience to the players who want to enjoy new adventures in a stable gaming environment.
