The new domestic action adventure game "Shan Hai Traveler 2" was released on the 26th of last month, priced at 55.8 yuan. As of now, the game has received mixed reviews on Steam.Although it has been on sale for a week, there are only 218 user reviews on Steam, with a positive review rate of only 54%.It can be imagined that the sales of this game have encountered major problems.

Against this backdrop, the official released an announcement on Steam - a letter to players.In the letter, the game producer Xinyu apologized to the players, admitting that the game had to go online when there were many problems and did not give the players a satisfactory answer.

Xinyu said that the studio has too much ambition for the sequel, but the team lacks experience. It overturned and remade it many times during the process, which eventually led to serious waste of resources.Although members worked overtime until late at night to go online, the final product still lacked polishing and failed to meet player expectations.

He said: "After a generation has received a lot of praise, I hope the studio can grow quickly and break through itself. But the reality is that it is really difficult to make changes and challenge new things. The team lacks experience, and repeatedly trial and error during the development process, constantly pushing and redoing it, resulting in a lot of waste of resources.

Friends who have played the previous version of the trial should know that our official version has changed significantly compared to the previous version.There are also players who participated in the test one month before they went online, which may be clearer. In fact, in the last month, the game also changed a lot.

Every friend of the team worked overtime until he collapsed, and finally barely caught up with the online time, causing countless bugs and various problems. In the end, the finished product was also lacking in depth in every system.This is because "Mountain and Sea Traveler 2" is too large and has consumed all our funds. We really invested everything in this work, and the game has to be launched online.”

Xinyu bluntly stated that the studio has reached the brink of disbanding due to insufficient revenue to maintain operations, but he promised not to give up subsequent updates and will undertake the repair and optimization work alone, and plans to release a complete update plan.He hopes to have the opportunity to invite players to return to the world of "Shan Hai Traveler 2" in the future.

"As mentioned earlier, Shanhai 2 did drain the last fund of the team. It is true that the imperfection is true, but the pressure the studio has to face is also true. With the meager income, Yunshan Xiaoyu has to face the problem of disbanding the team. I am very reluctant to part with the members who are still fighting together at the last moment because I have to separate the issues of my decision-making. But I will not give up Shanhai Traveler 2. This is not only an explanation for the players, but also an explanation for myself. No matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to continue to adjust and improve the game in the next time."
