We're back hotfixing the hotfixes! I apologize to all new players who were greeted with the worst possible first impression, a crash on New Game; a sneaky bug that only occured if you New Game right after launching the build, and slipped through our testing because we typically try to load a savegame first (in which case this crash didn't occur). Lesson learned, testing checklist adjusted, into a brighter future! – David and the Bladesong team ⚔️ Fix: Game no longer crashes on New Game

Dear swordsmiths, Today we’re releasing the first Bladesong feature update since its Early Access launch! We have overhauled our camera controls and improved some common complaints around our commission logic. Free the Camera! Up to now, Bladesong’s camera has been locked to the blade. This works in simple cases, but falls apart if you’re e.g. working with wide guards or using creative techniques for more interesting blade shapes. With this update, the camera is finally free!
