In the time since the last update, I've been chasing down every issue our wonderful players have reported, as well as many that went unnoticed. The list below is but a condensed version of all the fixes! (Trust me, it took up literal days.) And in the between times, I've been working on furthering Chapter 2. Running into an old friend will raise even more questions about the mysterious Org and their activities in Esper...
Ambitions for next time are to have our fourth biome at least partly completed, and potentially to complete Chapter 2, which will be by far the longest in the game. (If you know any artists who are okay working for tiny indie rates or rev share, please encourage them to contact me at info@illuminated.games ) Remember to report any issues you might be experiencing -- it helps improve the game for everyone, and I want players to have the best possible experience! Until next time... Happy Stalking, and see you out there in the Zone. Changelog:
