Night of Falling Stars Patch Notes, Winter Sale Discount, and our Dev Roadmap!

Hello folks!

Since launch, we've been hard at work making improvement and content patches to Mirthwood. Our goal, is to continue these patches all through next year and hopefully beyond. We've heard and processed community feedback and we've made changes and implemented new features to the game based on that feedback. If you haven't already, we invite you to join our Mirthwood discord. It's the best way to leave feedback, report bugs, get sneak peeks at upcoming content and interact with the devs and an awesomely vibrant community.

With that being said, pick up a copy of Mirthwood at 15% discount this winter sale.

Without any further ado, here's our updated roadmap. We hope it'll excite those that are looking to dive into the world of Mirthwood.

• As a reminder, a previous patch made changes to combat. You can turn on easy combat in settings.
• Also, the game's FPS is set at 200. If your hardware cannot handle that, please set the max FPS cap in your GPU settings. We've made some performance improvements and optimizations this patch, and we'll continue to work on the slight hitches that can occur from time to time.
• When stuck, try F2 to reset the game state.
