To the Crown Mages,

With the release of Astatos into Early Access, we've been hard at work over the past day fixing a bunch of bugs to make sure everyone has as smooth of an experience as possible. We made sure to prioritise bugs that prevented people from playing the game, and are keeping an eye out on remaining issues.

Thank you all so much for your amazing help in the Steam Community and the SK Discord which enabled us to tackle so many issues this fast. We've been gathering your feedback and will continue to look into issues over the next few days to prepare a full update patch.

We are also finishing the scripting on 7 additional Interlude topics for Chapter 1 which are also planned to release next week. We hope players will look forward to them!
