• [p]Multiplayer stability is solid[/p]
• [p]Balance feels good[/p]
• [p]Fewer annoying bugs in your first runs[/p]

[p]Thank you for your patience and continued support — especially to everyone testing, giving feedback, and hanging out in Discord. You’re genuinely shaping this game.[/p][p]We’re almost there. ⚔️
February 11th. No more delays.[/p]
