Changelog

TextSpaced is regularly updated and the best place to keep track of changes and hear the latest news is in our official Discord server.

We operate a thematic release procedure where a new release will be centred around a specific theme, new features and mechanics will be added around this theme and all existing mechanics, features, items in game and balances will be changed along this general theme also. In between major releases will have minor releases that generally aim to improve the game and add additional content.
