Full Valve approval, complete migration to Steamworks, and initial content

FINAL VALVE APPROVAL AND RELEASE DATE

Hello everyone!

Today I finally received 100% final approval from Valve. Everything is verified and ready for deployment.

The game will officially launch this Friday at 23:30 (Spanish time / CEST).

REASON FOR DELAY: COMPLETE BACKEND REWRITE

Although the launch had to be postponed from the initial late September date due to review procedures, I took advantage of this time to execute a complete structural overhaul of the game's backend. I have completely removed all Epic Games infrastructure (EOS, Epic login, and crossplay).

I originally designed the system for cross-platform support, but it caused technical issues on Steam and friction for players who didn't want third-party logins.

I listened to community feedback, removed all Epic code, and completely rewrote matchmaking, friends lists, invites, sessions, and authentication to work 100% natively in Steamworks.

LAUNCH CONTENT AND GAME MODES (THIS FRIDAY)
