- The challenge mode has been released, and there are more adjustments in the future, such as random monsters, battles, resource generation, and random rewards by clear the mission to encourage players challenge repeatedly.

- The Japanese version has been released, if you find any translation issue, please contact us to fix it.
Optimize NPC's AI performance, now NPC can do more things and no longer get stuck;
