Also: I’m collecting all your bug reports, comments, and crash logs. Still investigating some crash cases and the EOS SDK DLL issue — the game doesn’t use Epic Online Services, so I’m trying to understand why the DLL is included (possibly related to the Supporter Pack DLC). Looking into it!

Thank you all for your support, feedback, reviews, and bug reports — it really helps a lot! I’ll keep polishing the game, fixing issues, and building new content for upcoming updates.
