Patch 1.2.5

Hi everyone! Patch 1.2.5 is here with new bugfixes (including a major one for a blocker in fights) and some polish as well.

While 1.2.5 was supposed to be the last "Bugfix focused patch", we are not quite exactly where we wanted to be in terms of bugfixes yet, and there will be a 1.2.6 bugfix focused patch in January. We do work on 1.3 in parallel of this patch though, so the new content is being worked on! Can't wait to show you what's coming!

Until then, please find the full patchnote below. Once again, thanks a lot for playing Sandwalkers and for your feedback, that helps us improving Sandwalkers beyond what we could've done by ourselves!

Cheers!
