We have received notice of this lawsuit and will begin the appropriate legal proceedings and investigations into the claims of patent infringement.

At this moment, we are unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon, and we have not been notified of such details.

Pocketpair is a small indie game company based in Tokyo. Our goal as a company has always been to create fun games. We will continue to pursue this goal because we know that our games bring joy to millions of gamers around the world. Palworld was a surprise success this year, both for gamers and for us. We were blown away by the amazing response to the game and have been working hard to make it even better for our fans. We will continue improving Palworld and strive to create a game that our fans can be proud of.

Book Review: Friend of Caesar by Toivo Kaartinen

It is the year 50 BCE, 700 years since the establishment of Imperial Rome. Young Quintus Livius Drusus is returning from his studies in Athens to find his home not quite how it once was—there are cracks in the foundations of the Empire itself, enemies among his father’s old friends, his betrothed all but ensnared by their schemes, corruption and decadence rotting the very core of Rome. Full of the confidence of youth, Drusus is sure that none of the threats looming in the future will actually come to pass, and if they do, they will be easily repaired. However, he is soon to find out just how fragile a system built on the bleeding backs of slaves and fed by constant wars of invasion can truly be.

Adapted from the book by William Stearns Davis of the same name, Friend of Caesar volume 1 is the first of a 10 chapter series telling the tale of the fall of the Roman Republic, and the story of one young man, who is about to learn just how costly it can be to swear an oath of loyalty to a man like Julius Caesar.

To what I say…

This book is so unique, frankly it is the 1st one ever (at least to me) that I saw a furry story set in Ancient Roman times… And in case your wondering the history it covers is fairly accurate. I would not say 100% perfect. But pretty damn close to it.

For what it is it’s a good tale and I can’t wait until volume 2 hits.

So where do I rank it 7 / 10
