Hello everyone! It is with great joy that we are presenting and releasing version 0.95 of Be Hero for "pre-testing" for those who are eager to check out what's new and give us some help in finding/fixing bugs and other problems. We chose to release this update first in a separate branch (with separate saves) because the update brings big changes to the game and we need to make sure they are stable, so we're able to release it to everyone with security and quality.
