[b]Hey Folks![/b]
Since launching Amber Isle earlier in the week, our whole team have been overwhelmed with the love, support, excitement, and enthusiasm you've shown for Amber Isle.
We've spent the past 4+ years putting our hearts & souls into Amber Isle's development, so to get to finally release it to such an amazing reception has been a dream come true. 🧡
[h3]Future Hotfix Patch Plans & Hotfix Beta Testing[/h3]
Thank you for bearing with us while we've been working on the first batch of fixes for Amber Isle.
We're happy to report that we have completed work on the first emergency hotfix update (v1.0.1)!
