Greetings fellow cultivators. Here is another small patch of various fixes from last week or so. Originally i wanted sect update to be done by now. But due to my ambitions there is still a little left. In The discord i promised less than two weeks left. Hopefully shorter than that. So what is my plan with sect update. I plan on with the update releasing a small DLC support pack. The only thing that will be locked to this small DLC is extra Cultivator appearance options (Purely cosmetic). The sect update itself will be completely free, except there will be a Spirit stone cost to create your own sect. Here are some teasers on sect update. Please note that this is still WIP and some numbers and textures are not final.
