| Community | Plans Okay, so I have now struck off most htings on my todo list. I've been thinking that I will aim to do 1 news post like this per week rather than random updates whenever I feel like it. It becomes a lot to manage and frequent almost daily updates to the game can feel quite chaotic as a player. Moving forward I would like to move towards a more strucutred approach. · Weekly news posts. · Weekly bu… | — | |

| Community | A micro roadmap. Hey guys, I just got back from my holiday. So as promised I'm writing up my plans and this post is here to keep you informed. Over the next week I will be working on improving a bunch of the existing systems. My todo list is a bit of a mess but some notible things include. · Adding Cow, Sheep, and pig to the game. · A new tooltip for the cauldron showing what cards do. · Fixing a bug where the… | — | |
| Game update | Version 1.2.8 • Fixed an issue where every time the game saves the oldest backup was moved to the archive causing a lot of save files to be backed up. It now only archives a save file if it cannot load the file. • Removed HMAC we don't need tamper protection for a single player game and it was just adding another point of failure. | 19822635 | |
| Community | An Apology I’ve heard a lot of feedback here on the steam community that the resets and issues with saves as well as the massive amount of content changes that have been happening are upsetting for a lot of you. First of all I want to say my bad guys… I’ve been really engrossed in expanding the game because I am actively playing it too. I got carried away and made too many changes too fast. I also lost tr… | — | |

| Community | Retiring the old Save system. Next update I will be retiring the old save system and the migration logic will be going away, I suspect this will happen in the next 1-2 days. I am in the process of testing some enemy balance changes on the unstable branch. When they're ready I will push to live and anyone who hasn't played since before 1.2.1 will lose out on their save data from that time. The game will just create a new save. | — |
