[color=#009900]Sorry I didn’t get a content update out to you last week - we like to aim for weekly, but we were still scrambling to catch up after the launch. Things are neeearly back to normal now. [/color]
[color=#009900]

[color=#009900]In other news: [/color]
[color=#009900]
[/color]
[color=#009900]- We’re still on target for the Emerald release next week. The headline feature on this is map-shuffling - you’ll also see new islands, new sound effects, and a great many bug fixes and chunks of implemented feedback. [/color]
[color=#009900]
[/color]
[color=#009900]- Combat is the least successful part of the game right now - we know that. Some people are fine with it; some people think it needs tweaking; some people hate it. We always knew it needed work, but we think, now, we’re going to spend a big chunk of August focusing specially on combat experience, balance, and beastie pathfinding. This will be a separate release - so it will delay subsequent releases, and push the final release date of the game out by 3-4 weeks. This isn’t ideal for us, but we want to do this right, and we want you to know we are listening carefully to feedback. [/color]

[color=#009900]Thank you all again for your support, attention, enthusiasm and general tastiness. We are really enjoying sharing this world with you.[/color]
[color=#009900]Here’s what you can expect from EMERALD, which will drop very soon:[/color]
[color=#C2B280]This is now live on Steam. We’ve sent the build to Humble Bundle, too: they’re on Pacific time, so it should be available there later this evening.
We’ve tested this one pretty carefully, but early access etc etc – please report any explosions that aren’t consonant with the narrative to sunlesssea@failbettergames.com. And as ever, thanks for being smart, thoughtful, supportive, and generally awesome.[/color]
