A big "thank you" to pre-release testers & first update incoming!

Hi there,

I hope you're doing well! Thank you for your support and feedback to date - I'm getting close to releasing the first update to Prometheus Wept. It will be a small update to deliver a quality-of-life focused boost to PW, later today, or tomorrow.

Things got a little hectic coming up to the early access release, and I'd like to take a moment to thank the brave pioneers who gave feedback and helped improve the game before it released on early access. It wasn't possible to address all feedback before launch, so I focused on stability, but I'll address more of your feedback in the near future.

Given the complexity of Prometheus Wept, even with 1000+ hours of testing in a very methodical manner, I wasn't able to remove all the bugs. Your help massively improved the game, and I'm really grateful for that.

Apologies in advance if I missed anyone, it's been a hectic time. If anyone who reported bugs or gave feedback would like their name in the credits, let me know how you'd like to be credited!

Talk soon,

Daithi
