Hey again everyone,

This patch fixes a loop with some dialogue choices in chapter 9d. Thank you to the individual who pointed it out =)

The plans for the auto-typing are still underway, but it's going slower than expected. Not sure when it'll be done, but I'll give updates when they're due!

Thanks again for playing!

Just added a new, 14th level.

Build your workshop, run your own farm, explore the world and battle awesome monsters! A bustling community is waiting for you in Portia!

One of Portia and Sandrock’s best engineers, Mint, is waiting for you to help improve the beautiful oceanside port town. He is trying to make the town better, but word of your building prowess and productivity has reached him and he trusts your work.

Ah, almost forgot to mention it, but Mint likes sleeping, so he takes frequent naps. You may need to...wait for a while until he wakes up… But after he’s up again, he’s happy for a chat or a meal at the Round Table.

Mint’s engineering skills are high in demand, leading him to travel to different Free Cities in the Alliance. Meet him in My Time at Sandrock as well, and If you get closer to him, who knows what might happen…?

Thanks to your feedback, here is a quick hotfix to solve the problem with Repeat up to/Overcharge chards (Wrecking Ball, Recurring Nightmare, etc...).

We're delivering 3 Roadmap items in this patch!

Drauven have been reworked with a bunch of new and terrible (for the heroes) abilities. The centerpiece of this is Drauven Blood, which now grants regeneration to all Drauven (but not e.g. terror birds). Because they can regenerate, Drauven want to slow fights down, and so many of their new abilities are about thwarting the heroes' ability to burst them. We think this will make a big difference in how they feel to fight.

We're also delivering a new Legacy Browser environment with some filtering features. We'll have some new music in here in a future patch but it's already a much more pleasant place to find your favorites.

We're also removing the experimental tag for multiplayer along with some improvements to the player experience, especially when playing with mods. The "Always on mods" concept has been simplified so that now they can be turned on and off per game.

We're getting pretty close to announcing a launch date, which is extremely exciting for us as a team. It's been a journey and a half! As part of that, we've updated the roadmap to better reflect exactly what we expect to ship with 1.0, and what will likely slip to a 1.1 or 1.2 update. You can find our roadmap here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10VFbL6EYAvJRgR-hoJimuxUCSh7VoLfXba0fTXSHhH4/edit

As we run up to launch our regular patch schedule will most likely be interrupted, but we'll of course continue to communicate and address bugs as needed.
