Greetings Pioneers!

It's about time, I just pushed the button and Paragon Pioneers 2 has been released now!

I'm 110% excited and hope you'll enjoy it! It has been busy 1.5 years since I've started the development, but I'm glad how it worked out and hope to produced a worthy successor to Paragon Pioneers. Thanks to the vigilant eyes of my awesome Alpha Testers the game is in the best bug-free state it possibly can be to launch and await you to dive deep into weeks of building and optimizing your island empire.

As a last point I have a request for you all: It is not so easy as a solo-indie-developer to get attention to a game, therefore I'd be greatly happy if you could help me out a bit!

1. Post and share the game in social media, groups and/or forums you're active and think it might fit.
   
2. Review the game as soon as possible, if you want to give it a thumbs up. Otherwise it is of course totally fine too, but please wait a bit to the algorithms pick it up and show it to more people.
   
3. Send/introduce me to influencer/press contacts, which might be interested in showcasing the game.

Thank you all for being part of this journey and happy building
- Tobias

Hey Pioneers,

I'm happy to announce that the alpha of Paragon Pioneers 2 has started :D I'll gradually invite more people to help me testing and squashing the countless bugs probably lurking everywhere. It is a really early alpha phase, so please only take part of it if you got enough patience for a constantly crashing and imbalanced game! There will be a beta phase later on with a much more stable and enjoyable state :)

Please head to the Discord to take part in the alpha discussions: https://discord.gg/pRuGbCDWCP

Thank you for your help!

Tobias
