Dear players! We strive to please our entire audience, from our free followers to the ardent fans giving us amazing financial support! Thus, this is the release schedule for version 0.2:

In the course of developing version 0.2, we realized that some things in the game are still lacking, so we’ll be improving them in interim version 0.2.5. In 0.2.5, we plan to fix some non-critical bugs with:

• The day and night system
• Certain sprite emotions
• Certain quest overlays (maybe(!))

We’ll also add some new visuals and expand a little on some of the content from version 0.1.
