Chapter 2 - Release Patchnotes



Hey everyone, it's happening.
With Halloween approaching, it's time to release Chapter 2 of The Donnerwald Experiment on steam.

I hope you'll enjoy Johanna's new adventure, feel free to let me know what you think about it and if you encounter any bugs.

IMPORTANT


Due to some savefile bugfixing, most old savefiles won't work anymore as the construct information was corrupted. You may instead use the Chapter Selection in the Start Menu to jump right into Chapter 2 if you don't want to replay Chapter 1.
Sorry for causing this inconvinience.

The russian translation will be patched in when its done, later this month.
