changedTime flies, of course, and there are about two months left until the Steam release. That's about 4-5 updates. I want to speed things up sometimes, but that takes a toll on my health. So I do it when I can and when I'm healthy.

changedQuests✅ Some quests have been changed from side quests to story quests - as they weren't originally intended as such, but rather told the game's story and related to lore, they have been converted to story quests.
changedChanges✅ Changed the location of buttons in the pause menu.
changedChanges✅ The accuracy of player marker positions in 3D and 2D and player display on the 2D map has been improved to the maximum. Player markers are now located near the ground, rather than at the same level as before.
