Full Slay the Spire update
The complete published notes, normalized for clean reading and source attribution.
Repeated intro
Hello hello! I hope you all had a fine Thanksgiving (I ate a Turkey sandwich). Most of next week's focus will be on improving the save system and compatibility-related issues. The framerate of the game is now based on your monitor and can also be unlocked by turning off VSync in the Settings. Some VFX will be sped up and look odd. If you spot these, please let us know. Onwards to the patch notes!
