Hoo boy. This is a big one!

I just updated the First Access build, and it’s big enough to jump from 0.12 to 0.13 and graduate to NIRVANA. This update is dedicated to the true MVPs of this game: your followers. I’ve improved the follower screen where you can configure your deck so you can finally click on that right hand side list. And that’s not all, there’s 77 new cool dudes and dudettes to recruit and play with. A few of which you can see in the title of this post. Let me pick out a few of my favorites:

You will notice that all of these still use recolored versions of the already existing followers. That will make telling them apart a bit hard but will be fixed as soon as Anjin has some time to work on more faces. According to his current schedule he’ll be able to devote some time to Nowhere Prophet at the end of this month, so all of you that have backed on THE FACE tier (and sent in their photos) will have to wait a bit longer.

Also note that initially I wanted to add another unlockable class to this update but decided to add more followers instead, postponing THE ECHO to a later update.

As usual: If you’re using the itch.io app the game will auto-update, otherwise you’ll simply have to re-download!

Anyway, here’s the complete changelog for this patch:
