Stunfest was incredible. Blêktre 2081 got lots of love and made new friends—it felt great after all this dev time. More an experience than a game, and a solid one. Here's the ultimate major update— a good time to dive in ? #mmorpg

Still struggling to explain the (overly unique) genre of my game in a short trailer!
Do you have an opinion on this final attempt?

Hello, good and bad news!
Blêktre 2081 has been selected to appear at Stunfest on October 24-25-26 (Rennes, FR) 📢
Good news because it means this new and ambitious version of the game will be ready by then.
Bad news for me because I have to grind hard to be on time 😆

I'm happy—thanks to my UX expert friend, the reworked UI implementation feels much fresher and more intuitive than before. It might help newcomers! Planned for V1.2.
