There are other possible information about SKHD but most of them are speculations so I decided to not add in this list.
Comments
Also, freemium will have to be turned on MANUALLY (or will turn on automatically after you win the game). This is to quiet all the voices that say the game is designed so it can't be won without buying gold.
Hopefully, saying "2018" isn't too specific.
I will say this much though, it will not be early-- because by working with the original SK on these ports, I found that the new game had gotten a little too "hardcore" instead of just being pure fun, and I need to rework some of that.
