Version 1.0 Changelog
This means the release of the long-awaited update 1.0 with so much additional content it could easily fit three to four major updates we've been making in the past is coming soon!
These mark the important steps we'll be addressing in the future updates of the game. Naturally, there are also other things we'd like to add or overhaul in time, but these results inform us what things would you prefer for us to prioritize going forward, which is extra helpful.
We'll be exploring both methods to see which is better, but all-in-all we're happy that you don't mind us expanding the game in this way - we also didn't want to be limited by the 1.0 number and have a way of adding more challenges with updates.
