Now the winter holidays are almost upon us, so Dev Diaries will slow down once again. These patch notes clock in at a whopping 2.6 in length! One Blackninja should roughly equal one Groogy, for those who are more familiar with the old gold standard.
We’ve also fixed a whole heap of bugs, of course! The 1.2 ‘Argent’ patch is soon released, but until you get home from work/school we thought that you might enjoy a peek at the Patch Notes! We hope that you’ll have lots of fun with the Ruler Designer and all the other new features.
