Hello mates, Baron here with a fresh patch for you from the Warpfrog team.
Besides a bunch of bugfixes, we have a surprising QOL feature addition in this update - a height offset.
If you are really tall or really short, you probably knew all about how annoying that could, and this was an accessibility feature we always wanted to have but encountered issues with implementation due to the full body avatar. However Wully found an unexpected and nice way around it, so now you can offset your character height vs your real height. This also means you could play the game sitting down if you wanted. ːtmntleoː
This update took freaking ages to roll out, guys... After 5 years of development our game framework ThunderRoad has become really difficult and inefficient to work on due to regressions. The good news however is that KospY has been developing ThunderRoad 2. All those nagging issues we had from TR1 are no more on TR2, so this allows us to work much faster and more efficiently on our next game. ːpraisesunː
Full changelog below, cheers!

The plugin we use for modio is now considered legacy and is no longer supported by modio, causing a variety of issues. We need to update this plugin, but unfortunately it is not a simple swapout and is actually a lot of coding work. We are working on this right now, but until then, this hotfix wi…Khar-Tib 1.3.1 releasedHello mates, Baron here with a small bugfix patch from the Blade & Sorcery team!
