Hey guys! Krayfishkarl here and welcome to another Droplet: States of Matter update! Early Access 1.53.1 is now available! This update includes various bug fixes, quality of life improvements and more.

As stated in the previous update, I do not have any more plans to create dedicated video logs until the release of the next trailer so for the time being, you can expect approximately weekly bug fixes like this for the imminent future.

That's all for now and with that, thank you for the following the development of Droplet: States of Matter!
