Two years of PTK... (and v0.9 Patreon Release)!
We can't believe this milestone has come so quickly, but it has been two whole years since our first PTK release!

In terms of numbers, we're nearing 100k lifetime downloads with more than 500k total views on our Itch.io page alone - outpacing last year's growth by an amazing margin.As part of our anniversary celebration, we...

We want to share that our timeline has been pushed back slightly (compared to our original projected timeline, published previously) - while reviewing Theo Day 3, we noticed several areas that needed polishing, writing and art-wise, and as such, took extra time during this development period to round those areas out with a bit more content.

It's been one year...
It's been one year since the very first PTK release... we won't take a ton of time to be sappy and boring, but as a team, we just want to express our deepest, warmest gratitude to everyone that has given this project a chance.
