Hello, friends!
We’re continuing to gather feedback for a big pre-release patch we’re targeting for late fall.
This time, the beta will include an AI update and new implants.
We’d love to hear your feedback!
Also here is a small teaser for future content

If you're having troubles with enemies, open the C:\\Users\\%username%\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Magnum Scriptum LTD\\Quasimorph folder, find your save slot (slot_*_session.dat and autosave_slot_*_session.dat), open them with any text editor, find EnemyDodgeMult in the files, and set it to your desired value (1 - 100%, 0.5 - 50%, 2 - 200%).
- New: Thanks to Discord users 23n1nbb, whisperagent, and Recal1Nahsor for providing their Chinese localization! It has been added to the current beta.
