journal

This is the first update after the launch of the Closed Beta. It mainly includes bug fixes and optimizations based on the first wave of testing, along with a few new additions. Sina Scribblecraft is now contributing asset packs to Talescape, with her work available directly inside the editor. And last but not least, I finally created the first batch of tutorial videos I had been promising. The first 7 videos cover the Setting up your Story section of the documentation and can be accessed directly in the editor or viewed on YouTube.
