[2021] Update Notes - 4/29/2021: Adjustments on Qing Yan, Ao Bai, weapons & scrolls | Gunfire Reborn Dev Tracker

Hello everyone!
In this update, we have adjusted some Qing Yan’s and Ao Bai’s ascensions, added a new daily challenge theme, and optimized Wind God and some occult scrolls. Meanwhile, we are still looking forward to your feedback and suggestions. Our main focus is to develop new content as usual, so we may need more time to fix bugs and optimize the game. The next major update, which includes a new hero, a new boss, new weapons and more, will be released this summer. Please stay tuned.

*If you encounter issues such as game crashes, failure to start, etc., and you cannot use the feedback function, please send your Steam name with detailed description of the issue or screenshots to our email ([email protected]). We will check and fix the issue as soon as possible.*[/i]
