Patch #15 (Beta): Spells, Traits and Monster catching
[p]Hey everyone 👑[/p][p][/p][p]The last month has been crazy! Thanks to you, I've had such an enormous amount of feedback to work through, and it really helped a ton. As did taking a break. The creative energy was finally flowing again, which I really missed. One thing led to another, I couldn't stop, and here we are:[/p][p][/p][p]Update #15 will be the biggest update yet, by far. We have a lot of new stuff, but also reworks to tackle the deeper problems you reported. It's really a new take on how the game works. And it is so big, in fact, that I decided not to just release it like I normally would, but instead, I want to continue working on it and improving it together with the community.[/p][p][/p][p]![]()
