1.1.0 Beta Update

1.1.0 Beta Test Notice

Hello, this is TEAM HORAY.

The 1.1.0 update is now available as a public beta. This version adds 'mod support through the Steam Workshop'. Supporting Workshop mods required a lot of work under the hood, and since this may make parts of the game less stable, we are releasing it as a public beta first. We'll be listening closely to your feedback as we keep improving it, so please let us know what you think.

How to Join the Beta

• In your Steam Library, right-click Sephiria → Properties → Game Versions & Betas
• Select the 'workshop-beta' beta build

Notes

• Anything in the beta version may be adjusted or changed in the official release.
• If you run into any issues, please report them through our community. It really helps us fix bugs.
• Please back up your existing save data before joining the beta test. (Save data location guide)

Known Issue

We have received reports that some mods display the message "Unable to load verification info for this mod" and do not run. We are currently investigating the cause. We apologize for the inconvenience.
