Hello everyone! We are happy to announce that we are wrapping up QA/testing and the tentative release date for v1.5 is on June 19th. Сurrently, we are fiddling with save files from previous versions of the game to make sure they will be compatible with v1.5 (we will let everyone know of the results).
