With these changes, we've had a pretty busy week but the effort shows and there is so much still needing worked out in it, but we're hard at work to make Tirsy's Tale even better as time goes on! Now with a working save system (well half of one, please only use Manual slot for now) we can move on to other issues that have been brought to our attention and hopefully get some of the other cut scenes put in place to fully flesh out the game's story. So until next time, keep on keeping on hatchlings! And remember, be the dragon YOU want to be!
