Here's a list of changes for those who couldn't find them elsewhere (despite there being a link
):
== Update 1 News ==
A merry greetings from developer central. The day is creeping close; Update 1 is just about baked to perfection. Well ok maybe not perfection, if we had a hundred programmers and a hundred artists then maybe it would be but for Update 1 we are pretty proud of it as it is looking pretty sharp and playing even better. You should be sitting down to play the updated game within a few days from now.
As promised here is a list of what is fixed in Update 1. Of the huge lists gathered from the community (thank you!) we have done our best to fix as many as possible within the allocated timeframe. The remaining ones will have to be picked up in Update 2 (Yes we are publishing another Update!!).
The next Update is pencilled for the latter half of February so hopefully this will tie you over until then. We have some cool things planned for Update 2 which we will announce next year.
Ok here is the breakdown of fixed or tweaked issues, Merry Christmas from everyone at Creative Assembly!!!
