Howdy all,

Good news! We never slowed down development while waiting for the rating certification! Much more content, character customization, and settings are in now (some of which you can see in this and this update preview), and we're starting the localization processes now! Our dear partners have begun work on translating Japanese, French, German, and a few other languages.

And another bit of great news: although you’ll have to start a new game in this update (sorry!!), the stability of save files between updates has gotten considerable improvement, so new saves made in this build will likely be usable into future versions!

As always, If you meet any issues, you can start a thread in the Steam Report a Problem subforum or join our Discord beta channels to discuss with us.
