Version 5.0.4, Ambience & Ambivalence

Dev Notes

• A series of (unrelated) unfortunate events has put almost our entire writing team out of commission this month. I’d hoped to have a big Naho update ready for you today, amongst other things, but I’m afraid that’s going to have to wait for the next release.
• In the meantime, please enjoy a media-focused update. Our artists and sound engineers have been extremely industrious, and I wanted to share their progress with you!
• MVPs of this build are our new sound team: Mokkel, GerdGenus, Greyscale, and HereToHelp.
