Hey everyone! Thanks for coming on board. We hope you are enjoying exploring Tölva. This has been a real labour of love for our five-man squad and we're so happy to finally be able to share it. Some quick things: - People have been asking how to access the lorebook on Steam: we uploaded it as the manual. If you hit that on the game page you'll see you have the 48-page illustrated PDF of game lore written by Jim Rossignol and Cass Khaw, and illustrated by Ian McQue. It's beautiful, and it's complimentary with all copies of the game. :) - Patch 1 is coming very soon with bug fixes, new game options, shootable mantabirds and (probably) some performance fixes. - We're discussing a content patch right now. - If you have had a graphics-driver crash with an AMD system (or for any other reason) then please do file the outputlog_txt, ideally over at https://forum.big-robot.com/ We are working on this. - The Mac and Linux versions missed our launch date because of an intractable tech issue. We will be looking at that shortly and will provide more information on that situation soon as possible. Thanks for being here, and we'll have more soon! -BR
