Acknowledgements

Thank you to my family for their unconditional support. Making a game alone is very challenging. Without your support, I could never have done it.

Thank you to Hu Dapang for comprehensive testing of the early version of the game. As an experienced player, you know how to spur a lazy creator.

Thanks to everyone who purchased "Chinese Overtime". The game may not be perfect, but you must be someone who loves life.
