Summary

Hey, listen! Sounds! And a final touch to the Lost Ship story arc.

Details

About the patch

This is a so-called "Stable candidate", in that from here on it's just bug fixing and monitoring for a while before the whole Lost Ship will sail into port for the Stable-branch!

In this update, the Lost Ship finally got its sounds, and it feels a lot better with them! I especially recommend battling the last boss of the ship again, if you can muster it, because those sounds were great in our opinion.

We also put the arc end-point a tiny bit further into the story, as we felt that was a better way to end it for now. Hopefully you'll enjoy what you see!

We'll bug fix this one over the weekend and sometime early-mid next week we hope to move this thing over to Stable so we can focus on the next step of development!
