Greetings fellow gods,
As I grind away at the modding tools, I have a bunch of stability improvements, bug fixes, and small tweaks and improvements for you in today's weekly update, most of them coming from your reports on Discord.
I'll probably take a short break for the holidays. I expect the modding support to take 1 - 2 more weeks to get everything ready, the main challenge ahead being migrating entity IDs to strings. I'll share more details about the modding tools next week. Also a new non-combat skill is in the works too, so keep an eye on the releases!
Happy holidays!
