Second Hotfix [v1.00b] & a short note on future patches

Tainted Grail: Conquest

A unique, infinitely replayable, story-driven hybrid between a deck-building Roguelike and an RPG game. Explore the ever-changing maps, fight with deadly enemies, and learn what happened to the cursed island of Avalon.

Hello! First of all, we want to thank you all for your support! We hoped that you're going to like the game but we weren't expecting such a positive response! We're really humbled and we're trying to read everything you say, see what needs to be fixed, and prioritize fixes - because, really, the amount of feedback is so huge! :D Thank you!!!

As you'll see from patchnotes today, today's hotfix is touching upon many different issues you've reported. It took as this long precisely because of that: the more things are in a patch, the longer it takes to test it. In order to try (we hope this will work) to push fixes faster we're going to work on them in a more "focused" manner. So, for example, next big patch will probably contain only story-related fixes (and hopefully translations), and the next one after that will be related only to balancing... And so on. - [b]We've been investigating the causes of various crashes and optimization issues.[/b] We really hear your feedback and we're unhappy that the game sometimes doesn't work as well as it should. We have ideas on how to approach these issues and we're going to start to work on some major improvements in these areas. We don't know how long they're going to take (because they will require some proper research) but we hope that within the next few weeks the game should run better & smoother. - At the same time [b]we have some really cool ideas for the future of Conquest[/b] - we do want to introduce some events and work on additional content, but before we're ready to announce that we need to wrap up the issues that we've already started (like implementing localizations). So thank you all once again for your support. We're humbled and grateful for all your reviews and comments - it's amazing to see that you care so much!
