# The Trough of Sorrow

*April 15, 2024 · Note to the team · Roby John*

This weekend I met players in Raipur and Lucknow — some drove over 200 km for a two-hour meetup. The love for the game is there. So is the honest feedback: we're not yet living up to their expectations.

On the startup curve, this is familiar territory. It's called the Trough of Sorrow, and the only way out is by shipping real improvements — not piecemeal patches, but releases that show we listened.

Feedback is a gift, and it only comes from people rooting for your success. We don't need anything new. We need focus, and the discipline to hit the dates we set. Lets Go!
