A new patch is live!

[/p][p]First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who continues exploring the park, sharing feedback, reporting issues and leaving reviews. Your support really helps us shape Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator during Early Access 💚
[/p][p]Today we’re releasing Patch V1.0.4, which focuses on gameplay flow improvements, stability, performance optimizations and a number of bug fixes reported by the community.

We’ve also started to implement some balancing changes that should make daily routines in the park feel more natural and less repetitive.

• [p]General performance improvements and memory optimizations[/p]

• [p]Additional gameplay flow adjustments and overall polish[/p]
