Windrose's road to Ashlands
Windrose launched big and then spent its first months fixing things: disk writes first, then saves, then a long run of patches. Ashlands, the fourth biome, was named as the next big update in April and only got a window in October: this winter, still with no day. If you're deciding whether to come back now, we'd wait for a date; the timeline below shows how slowly this one has moved.
