Bug fixing, refactoring and redecorating have been our prime activities for this week. We’ve managed to address most bugs reported over the past two weeks. At the same time we cleaned up and improved the generator code so it becomes easier to add new and better decorative patterns to all levels. You should already notice its effects.

There have been some reports about freezes which we haven’t gotten to the bottom of, yet. If you are experiencing freezes, you can try to switch off the keep in memory option added recently. If that doesn’t help, please let us know on discord!
