✅ We’ve also fixed a pesky issue with guide achievements; they should now track and unlock properly. Thanks Frostt for the report.
🤝 And big news: we’ve officially teamed up with indie.io as our publishing partner! With their support, we’re excited to bring ScreenPlay CCG to a much wider audience.
Lights, camera, update! We can’t wait to hear what you think.
