Big update 6 : The Sommelier (v1.2) is here!

Hi everyone!

Here are the patch notes for the update called The Sommelier! Since this update changes a lot of things in the game and introduces a French translation, I ask you to be kind regarding any bugs or translation issues (which you can report in the Steam discussions under a post called “Problème de traduction”).

For bugs, you can report them under this post or in the BUGS post in the Steam discussions, and we will fix them as soon as we can! This update was a huge amount of work, and we didn’t have time to fully test it. We are already aware of some issues, but since they weren’t considered critical, we decided to release the update anyway.

Also, to convince you to buy the game, there’s a sale going on! I’ve talked enough, so without further ado, let’s get started!
