DOUBLE PATCH NOTES!
Hello builders and riders,
Jonny from hugecalf here to provide you with the juicy details of all the improvements we have made to When Ski Lifts Go Wrong. It’s been a while since we provided detailed patch notes and it has come to our attention that we didn’t provide patch notes for our major ‘name change’ patch at the start of November, so this announcement will cover that, and today's Quality of Life patch!
We are continuing to listen to your feedback and will work hard to improve all aspects of WSLGW as we approach the end of the Early Access period! So, as always, we’d love to hear your feedback, bugs and suggestions in the comments below :D
