Then you may deserve a cookie... ##0 Thanks to Kenny690, we made great progress on sound effects and more ##0 will come! We also worked very hard on art, we for example added a ##0 a new hairstyle, weapons are now visible, lots of icons were remade, ##0 etc... Furthermore, new unit names got introduced such as Esperin ##0 for the in-game currency or Florin as weight value. ##0 Last but not least, we did an incredible work on balancing the game, ##0 this took us most of our time thus we think it'll bring a new game ##0 experience to this adventure.

Congratulations ##0 to all of them! ##0 The change of license from GPLv2 to CC BY-SA 3.0 has made great ##0 progress too!

Your bug ##0 reports helped us a lot, as well as your feedbacks. Thank you! ##0 We started working on Beta3 even before the launch of Beta2.1 ##0 because much needs to be done. We fixed all known in-game issues ##0 and improved a lot of old content. ##0 To sump up, Beta3 can be compared as a full balancing release, it'll ##0 bring new weight and currency measures, which will offer a new game ##0 experience to you all! We'll let you discover all of the other new ##0 features and modifications by yourself! ##0 Lastly, we think it is important for you to know that we spend a lot ##0 of time trying to change our game art's license from GPLv2 to ##0 CC BY-SA 3.0. This will help us develop much faster in the future. ##0 Beta3 will soon be released, such as its news post! ##9 -- Cheers, Reid. ##9 March 2013 ##7 Finally, Beta2.1 is out! ##0 We are proud to announce the launch of Beta2.1 tonight.

Again, a numerous amount of bugs were fixed and ##0 scripts were mostly all rewritten for a better game experience. ##0 As a lot of dialogues were added and improved for Beta2, ##0 translations are needed more than ever.
