Good day, Traveller!

As those, who follow Chronicles of Vaeltaja's Steam forum, already know that I've decided to delay the 'Islands of the Prophets' update few weeks. For some time now I've been eager to move on to the new areas of the game, but all kinds of adjustments and graphical upgrades have always drawn me back to the old areas with every update so far. And because there are still some things I want to improve (mostly visual stuff), I've decided that with 'Prophets of Islands' and this new update I want to wrap things in the existing areas, so I can finally fully focus on the upcoming areas and content. This current update takes the first steps towards that goal by making some changes to some interior graphics and fixing few bugs.

I will spend the next few weeks by improving things even further, adding the missing content to the old areas and finalizing the content of the 'Islands of the Prophets'. After I release the update, I will fully focus on the next overworld area 'Autumn Valley'. I am still aiming to release the 'Islands of the Prophets' update in November and I really hope there won't be any delays.

Chronicles of Vaeltaja has changed a lot during this first year in Early Access and I try my best that the final version will be finished and released during 2025.
