Hello everyone!
These last 24 hours I've been hard at work gathering feedback and suggestions from you all. I've said it before and, trust me, I will say it again. It's extremely appreciated and helpful.
This patch has improvements, changes and optimizations all across the board, so it's hard to give it a summary, but if I had to choose one aspect to highlight it must be the Floppy Collection Quest which has been completely revamped. Mechanics, new graphics, new VO, sound effects - you name it! Other than that there are new assets, things to do and much more!
Hope you like it!
