2020 is here, happy new decade everyone! This should be an interesting year for Wanderboots, as the game is nearing feature completion. There's obviously a lot of work left to do, but the end is finally in sight.

This version also comes with two types of download; either the zipped folder with all the files where you have to manually install the game, or a full fledged installer that sets up everything for you.

So without further ado, let's get into the patch notes for 0.3.5!
