Patch 0.6 is finally live! This patch mainly includes updates to existing paid characters with special production characters and some visual improvements. The story patch will also be available shortly, just a little more patience and it will be worth the wait.
Now, first of all, let me talk about our main character. Here are the initial sketches and final versions of the male and female lead characters. All characters were specially crafted for Captain Bones by highly skilled 3D artists.
In addition, visual improvements have been made that change the overall atmosphere of the game. I have shared the before and after versions below.
Thank you for following and supporting us, we are coming soon with some amazing packages.
