Not much to report for this week's prerelease since most changes were included in the public patch release. I have continued working on the main quest and advanced as much as is currently possible. With this I was able to finally start the last quest of the current story arc. As a rough idea, once this, admittedly longer, main quest is done we will have about 20% of the Isekai content for 1.0 finished. 

Corruption wise we are currently lagging a bit behind due to to quite a few corruption scenes missing, but I hope we can rectify that soon enough. Once I finish the current isekai story arc I intend to shift focus to the corruption path and reach the second chamber. But more on that in tomorrow's project plan post.

Below is the complete changelog of patch + prerelease.
