As always you can watch us build the game live on Twitch. Heartbound has now been fully updated to Game Maker Studio v2.3. This was a ton of work and really delayed adding new content to the game. Now that the conversion is finished we can get back on track. Thanks for all the feedback and support. You guys rock. HBHeart
