This is a major upgrade to Georgie-Yolkie. We've enhanced the characters, graphics, gameplay and squished a whole load of bugs. We've been getting the game all nice and polished for the Switch 2, as once it goes out on cartridge we want it to be perfect. Sometimes change is difficult, but we know you will love Georgie and Yolkie's new look. Their new appearance and animations are based on the concept art, that, at the time, we didn't have the tech to make it in game. We hope you enjoy this new refined version of the game, and it's free for all owners!
😺Update Notes (2.0.0 Retail)
We've now overhauled the save system so that it now saves to local storage as a file, which is now automatically backed up with Steam Cloud. Before, the game was saving to the registry. Since this change, it is no longer necessary to use the Save Data Utility to manage backups in order to save to Steam Cloud. Sadly, all previous save games are incompatible with this new upgrade, and there wasn't anything we could have done about it, but we promise we won't be changing this again.
Georgie, Yolkie and other models have been completely revamped, along with their animations for smoother movements. The game no longer feels 'stiff' and is full of character, aligned with a original vision for the game
We've updated the macOS and Linux builds
