Hi friends!

This patch fixes a bunch of miscellaneous bugs that have cropped up. The big improvement this go around relates to Csaba's charity. Previously, giving her key charity items while a quest was pending could cause that quest to stall - she was really only designed to take those items once a critical NPC died, as a way for you to empty your inventory of unnecessary items. But since people clearly want the freedom to improve her disposition and access her other quests regardless, I wanted to make sure that it all works!

To that end, your journal and everyone's dialogue should update appropriately if you give a key quest item to Csaba from here on out.

Additionally, ALL of the music has been remastered by the wonderful Adrian. Revisit your volume settings to find a balance that you like, and grab your favorite pair of headphones to really marinate in some amazing tunes.

The Mac and Linux clients saw updates to the font, and some additional features that were missing like screen flash, depth transparency, and music fading. A memory leak has been fixed that should make the game MUCH more playable on Mac and Linux.

This is probably the last patch before Early Access is launched on 1/31! Early backers and players, please note - you will likely need to start a new game when Early Access comes out, and any save files made before that date will probably have some bugginess. Which sometimes is fun, but be warned ;)

We'll be at Playcrafting NYC's Winter Expo next Thursday. If you're reading these notes but don't have the game yet and want to try it out before 1/31, come visit us at Microsoft on 1/26 to come play the full game.
