Hey Townies,
Today we are releasing Steam Beta 2 patch 3.1.0 that includes many improvements and bug fixes based on your feedback, particularly focusing on sizing items to look better on a big screen and to improve legibility of text on the screen to facilitate faster comprehension of what you’re reading. This is not the final beta release, so please continue providing feedback so we can continue to improve Town of Salem! If you’ve already provided feedback and don’t see anything in this release that addresses your concerns, fear not, we are working our way through ALL feedback and chances are we’ll be working on yours soon.
