We're focused on Turkic fantasy with our upcoming release "Under the desert sun" - we've seen little to no of this a positive light. Often, (including the wider MENA influences) it's included with harmful stereotypes that promote an Anglo-Euoropean viewpoint on culture. We're looking to change that.
