Hello GuildMestars,

Its here! GuildMestar version 0.2.0.0 (really 0.2.0.2 but you know) is out! Below you will find the patch notes for the content that has been in the works since the beginning of this year and what a journey its been.

This patch brings with it major story additions spanning roughly 8 - 10 hours of content covering the entire first act. A multitude of new dungeons, enemies, characters, adventurers, and stories are all waiting to be discovered.

In addition to the primary patch over the past month an additional update has been developed refining 0.2.0.0 as well as expanding the available events for exploration. More details can be found below in the 0.2.0.2 patch notes.

Please note that while the demo version of GuildMestar has also been updated the majority of new content is only available past the demo's stopping point.

Thank you all for your support and I hope you enjoy everything this update offers, and everything the future brings!

Signed,

StrangerTod - OffPath
