Hello Shotbow, I hope all of you had a wonderful start of 2023. My name is Axyy and today I will be taking you through everything that happened last month!

Network Updates
Mine Theft Auto Shutting Down
Last month we announced that the Mine Theft Auto project has been discontinued. You can find the reasons for this in the forum announcement here.

When in Rogue Garaged
After running for several months without an active staff team, When in Rogue was moved back to the garage this week. When in Rogue became available last year through several open weekends, after which it was added to the Experiments section. However, although some development took place on When in Rogue, the team has always been very small, and in the past few months not available to work on When in Rogue. This meant that bugs or other issues could not be resolved. To ensure that we offer games that are in a playable state, we made the decision to move When in Rogue into the garage.
