[b]Details[/b] [i]About the patch[/i] This patch includes the final tower, the game's final bosses and two endings! Since it's a Frontline update, the final layer of polish (especially sound-wise) is not there yet. However, the overall quality is still high! Also note that this is not quite the 1.0 release content wise - some things, such as an updated set of Achievements, are not added yet! This last portion of the game has been a final boss in itself for us to produce, but we are happy with the quality of the content, and hope you guys will be too! Some useful chat commands for testing purposes: /towerreset - resets the whole tower /finalereset - resets the final battles To add/remove a catalyst to see the different endings, type in these to turn them on/off (Note! Make sure to do this outside the final boss room or things might bug out): /toggleflag _MainStory_EndGame_CatalystOfPower_G /toggleflag _MainStory_EndGame_CatalystOfAwakening_R /toggleflag _MainStory_EndGame_CatalystOfMortality_B [h1]Patch Notes[/h1] [b]Patch 0.99h (Feb 19)[/b] [b]Additions[/b] [list] [*]The last endgame stuff now has proper sound effects!

[i]Be warned that it contains spoilers, though![/i] [h1]What's next?[/h1] Bug fixes, Achievements, final polish. The Stable-version of this update (which will be 1.0) will land when we've got all sounds in, and have done a final polish-pass of the game! After that, we'll see what post release content is high on the list! We feel New Game+ is a likely candidate.
