Today's update will be the last official update for Thea 2: The Shattering. We will, of course, continue supporting the game, so we will fix any critical bugs and maybe even tweak a thing or two, but we do not plan to add any additional features or content.
We cannot talk about our next steps, as it is too early for it, but rest assured we are hard at work to bring you yet another MuHa gem in the near future. But, since are a small team, we do have to jump onto the main project pretty full-on, to make sure we give it as much love and care as we have done with our previous two games.
We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of our fans and supporters, we love you guys so much and we hope to see you once we get the project 'X' underway!

Important note:
As mentioned before, this update will break the saves of any game started prior to this update. However, we have added the previous version to beta branches, so you can switch and finish a game in progress if you'd like. To access v.0651, right click on Thea 2 in your Steam library and select Properties. A popup will appear on which you need to go to BETAS tab and from the dropdown select ver0651- and click Close. The game will now switch to the previous version allowing you to load an older save.
