Wow, there’s a lot of updates this week. It seems that everything is back in full force after the quiet week we had last time due to Game Jam. I’m really excited to see the Woodcutter’s Grove updates. It just shows that they continue to listen to feedback and adjust the game accordingly which, I have to admit, they have been really good at doing as of late.
