A huge thanks to our Discord members for helping me make Miuratale as good as it can be.
With this update done we move on to the NPC milestones in 0.8.1xx where side quests, challenges, and dialogue will be added.
Stability updates will be a constant, that won't change, but priority is shifting towards getting the unfinished content working so we can get closer to the finish line.
