The Artisan of Glimmith

Esteemed Artisans,Another patch for The Artisan of Glimmith is now live.Our goalsIn this update, our goal was to address the most important technical and gameplay problems that were impacting players.Earlier this summer, we went through every bug report and every Steam review of the game (including many positive ones that nonetheless contained constructive feedback).
