Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share with you the first patch after the full release of Garbanzo Quest! The response for the game has been so awesome! It's funny I thought that things would slow down at least little bit once the game was out, but nope! I've been pretty much just as busy as the weeks leading up to release . There were plenty of little bugs cropping up here and there, but thankfully nothing too catastrophic. I've also made some small changes and additions based on feedback. You'll also find some improvements to the level-editor/modding tools. I'm excited to keep improving the game's modding tools and to make other additions/changes! Anyways, thank you everyone for playing and sharing your feedback! See below for a list of changes. - Zachary
