💛 We would like to give a big Thank You to you, the community. for sticking with us. Especially after the Halloween Update when we had to shift our priorities a bit away from Dorfromantik for our final thesis. We know that 0.4 is not our largest update, but we hope you will enjoy it regardless!

🤍 No matter what or if you celebrate, we hope you can spend time together with people you care about and pass on some love. We all deserve it!
