Hello, just a note to say I've updated the main branch with the latest build in publicbeta, which means Pickpocketing is now fully released to everyone :)

And I've updated the library page image with some new art from Ramiro Ra, who previously did the trading cards!

EDIT - Saturday 22nd of August - Added a little hotfix (v286) to the publicbeta branch which fixes a crash when you hover over a pipe bomb in someone's inventory while using the Editor. That'll probably get pushed to the main branch soon.

EDIT - Wednesday 26th of August - and now it has.

The TAA is on a checkbox in the Settings/Graphics menu, it makes the black outlines look a lot smoother and more stable. Unfortunately it can make some other things a bit blurry when in motion so it's off by default. I prefer it despite the blur but your mileage may vary. The m…
