Snow Ash has been out for a week! This week we've been working intensively to optimize the game, releasing a major update patch almost every two days. Thanks to this, we've largely resolved the optimizations and suggestions players raised during launch!

This will be our second-to-last major update patch for the launch version, and the final major update will primarily focus on adjusting the final questline of Glimmer (based on player feedback, and our own recognition that scripted deaths aren't a ideal ending, we'll be optimizing it). This update will be released next week!

After that, we will continue to fix bugs and optimize details, so don't worry about us disappearing.

We have at least two more major version updates planned, one of which will be an overall optimization and supplement to the difficulty mode and card effects, and the other will be the addition of the Steam Workshop.

However, we cannot provide a precise update time at this time. We will inform players once the time is confirmed.

In conclusion, thank you very much to every player who purchased the game, and thank you for your suggestions and feedback!

Here are the update details:

1. Added sorting function

2. Added paid expansion function to city warehouses

3. Guild Quest debuff reworked and reinstated: Currently, only guild quests for players of Senior rank and above will have a guild quest debuff. The debuff description and effects have been reworked, and related guidance has been added.

4. Optimized quick selection quantity and quick buy/sell functions in the market: Now, you can manually select the quantity and then choose whether to buy/sell immediately. The current 50% quick selection function will automatically select the quantity that will affect the price next month.

5. Currently, for materials required by car, a wrench icon will be added to the upper right corner of the cargo icon, and the mouse hover tip will also indicate that the cargo is needed for vehicle upgrades.

6. Tracking quests will now continuously track the same series of quests.

7. The "Already Own" message will now appear for cards already owned in the training ground.

8. The navigator buff has been adjusted to be available.

9. When the Trainee Messenger is active, the locations around Windeye Harbor are now fixed to avoid potential issues with accessing nearby small shelters.

10. Bear skill can now be canceled, and Spark Points will be refunded upon cancellation.

11. Optimized the situation where, during the final capture of Windeye Harbor in the Home storyline, entering the City Hall to find Ye would result in a slightly strange questline if a conflict with the City storyline occurred.

12. Optimized the bribery storyline within Windeye Harbor in the Home storyline.

13. Optimized font outlines for better visibility in lower resolution window modes.

1. Fixed an issue where some text lacked multiple language support.

2. Fixed an issue with Guild Quest refresh display.

3. Fixed an issue where discarding Guild Quest goods would cause Guild Quests to refresh abnormally.

4. Fixed an issue where the Guild Quest guide in the quest details interface would still be displayed when switching to a non-guild quest.

We hope every player has fun in the world of *Snow Ash*!

The game has been out for almost a week, and this update addresses some frequently requested control and UI issues, while also adding some helpful tutorials.

12. Increased the number of parts sold by NPCs in the bar.

13. Increased the appearance rate of NPCs in the shelter to avoid difficulties finding quest NPCs.

4. Fixed an issue where new saves might not show the map.

5. Fixed an issue where selecting whether to add equipment cards to the deck was not saved in the save file.

6. Fixed an issue where entering the Holy Snow Cathedral after accepting a quest from another branch would cause the game to freeze.

7. Fixed an issue where item loading would not reload the save.

8. Fixed an issue where completing certain story quests could cause the game to freeze.

9. Fixed an issue where the food's shelf life was displayed incorrectly when cooking in the camp.

10. Fixed an issue where refreshing the map immediately after entering the game in veteran mode could cause incorrect gameplay.

We will continue to update the game content and optimize the experience. Thank you for your suggestions and feedback!
