Developer's note

Hi everyone, Krukov here. I'm sorry that it has been almost a year since I last updated Victory Road. End of last year was a very difficult time for me in terms of IRL. So it has been hard to actually find the time and motivation to develop the game. The good news is, I think I'm pretty much back on track now. So hopefully I can grind away the next few months to finish this project.

This version contains the new exploration menu. I've been meaning add more locales to this game for quite some time now, but that actually required me to turn some parts of the game completely upside down. I've tested the game to see if there are any possible problems due to the changes, but I haven't found any so far. Do let me know if you find anything weird. Maybe it would be safe to backup your saves just in case.

Next update is probably going to be about remaking the random event system in the game while also adding various minor tweaks to make the game better. I hope to see you guys again soon!
