Greetings, blokes and blokettes!

Some of you may be wondering “Wasn’t the previous news of v1.2 last year? Come on, you lazy bloke! When is this darn thing coming??”
Well, it’s still very much in the works! It certainly could have been done a long time ago, but I’ve been sooo distracted with working on other games and hobbies lately, and life stuff too.
But I’ve recently been working on it some more, and along with the promised changes to the cutscenes (adding the option for in-game cutscenes, for those who suffer from game crashes with the animated ones), I’ve made lots of other little fixes and changes, and the list is still growing!

So, to any who are interested, I shall post here the current patch notes for the upcoming version 1.2.0, so you have some idea of what you can be expecting!

Until next time, thanks for the continued support, blokes and blokettes!
GAME ON!!
