Non dovevano anche essere messi i giochi simili xD come le progetto iniziale?

[Redi]

I have one more idea. At present we can only give the offical site of the game, but it would be better, if we could give the fansite either.

Non lo abbiamo implementato per velocizzare le tempistiche

No no, this is a useless field, we have to find major features to implement.
I added one more.
