Happy Holidays! (Special Release)
🕑 Added 2020-12-25 00:04:53 +0000 UTCHi everyone, I'm releasing the latest build early this year on account of tomorrow being Christmas, and because I wanted alpha patrons to be able to experience all the latest revisions before I take the next week to relax.
I finished my 95 hour playthrough today and worked solidly over the weekend so I'd be able to deliver the most polished and perfected build to date for this strange and unprecedented holiday season, particularly while most of us are stuck at home away from friends and family.
The patch notes are perhaps the longest I've had yet. Read them if you like, or don't. Whatever suits your fancy.
Happy Holidays and much love to everyone, from Nym and Audrey.
(Edit: We have had to censor implied nudity on this post to avoid being locked out. Sorry!)
