Rose Of Wind News

[p]Hello everyone!
We’ve noticed that after the latest update, some players have experienced issues with NPC stability and visitor waiting times.[/p][p]🔧 Yesterday, we released a hotfix that addressed the main problems, but we realize that the situation requires a deeper rework.[/p][p]🎯 We’re currently working on:
– a day system (so you can move to the next day whenever you wish);
– manual and autosave functions;
– a complete rewrite of the visitor queue logic to make arrivals faster and behavior more natural;
– improved day/night transitions;
– and more active NPCs in the courtyard to make it feel livelier.[/p][p]💜 Thank you to everyone leaving feedback and helping us improve the game. We see everything and we’re responding.
The next patch will focus on stabilization and smoother gameplay flow.[/p][p]— The Rose Of Wind Team[/p]
