We’re happy to announce that we just released Content Patch Version 1.1! Since the release of the game we’ve been collecting and evaluating your feedback and build this version solely based on it. It was a super intense and exciting month for us - and at the same time we’re now curious how you’ll like it.
We've also prepared a six minute long Update video. Keep in mind the video is in German but of course we've got English subtitles!

Sadly we had some hiccups with our Loca Studio regarding timings which is why the French localization will be updated on Monday. However, so you can continue playing in French, we’ve built in a placeholder translation for now. So please don’t be confused if things may sound a bit weird for now, everyone is working hard to get that fixed asap. Sorry for the slight delay here.
We also have a small surprise for the Christmas season which we’ll announce tomorrow in our Discord!
We’d be happy to get some feedback from ya’ll and wish you a pleasant journey through Drova. May the Bygones guide your way.
Also: Right now the Steam Awards Votes are happening on Steam. And we’d be super grateful if you could also vote for Drova, that’d be really amazing!
