Hello Giants!
We got a small update ready for you with a bunch of changes and requested features! One of the main addition for this patch: two new Spirits to guide your humans! We can't wait to see the worlds that will be leading by either the Diplomat or the Botanist!
We are also working on making the game more accessible with the addition of a "disable planet rotation" option to help with motion sickness.
We're overwhelmed with both the positive reaction and the good ideas! We plan on implementing more of them, so keep your eyes open on the updates. These are the things we could implement quickly in this timespan!
