Release! (Tech-Update wip.5252)
Added 2024-12-01 00:27:01 +0000 UTCThe 4th update is here!
As we mentioned previously, not all of the Tech Update content is available yet.
This cycle we have been focused on upgrading Debbie's content, and we're now in a position to share with you the first five reworked quests.
Unfortunately, only these first five quests were stable enough for this bi-monthly release, which means a portion of the work we've done won't be seen this time around. We tried but needed maybe four more days and we made a commitment to release every two months.
It does give us a head-start on the next release cycle however, and work has already begun on multiple other Debbie quests. In the meantime we hope that this first glimpse of Debbie's new story will showcase the level of quality we intend to keep throughout the rest of her content.
