Beta update - 1.0.6b

Heya!

I've made a small update to the beta branch that aims to fix the annoying and often reported "game is hanging" issue.

It's a tricky problem and I'm afraid the 'fix' might introduce some issues with other parts of the game - that's why I've decided to wait until making it available on all branches. The reason I've put the word fix between quotes is that I'm not sure I've fixed all instances where it can happen. Async code is hard.

If you’d like to help, switch over to the beta branch and report any possible issues somewhere on Steam, or even better, on Discord.

What's next

I've started this year by releasing a detective game with my friend Lorenzo, Confidential Killings:


I'm on holiday at my day job so I'm having more time for gamedev again. There's finally time to support the games I've released and to announce the new game I've been working on for some time. So stay tuned!
