Skin Update Releasing 16 Feb! + Achievement Questions!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone!

In our last post we announced both the Critical Update, as well as the Skin Update, and I let you know that we'd be announcing the release date for the latter very soon... Well, I'm happy to announce that the Skin Update is releasing this Monday, the 16th of February!

If you want to check what it contains, click on the link below!

Also, we'll be announcing something SUPER important on the 16th of February as well, so keep an eye out for that... You can join our Discord to stay up to date!

New Achievements

On a separate note, in the last post we announced that the game would be receiving more achievements to work in tandem with the new skin system, and while we carried out a survey to make sure that you all wanted this, we received some feedback on our previous post that went against this.

Because of this, I wanted to ask - if you're one of the players who would like achievements to be added, would you be alright with them only being added to the game itself, and not Steam?

So in practice, the achievements would appear in game as they do right now, but no more would be added to the Steam backend, so if you 100%d the game prior to the upcoming updates it still shows as such. Let me know what you think!

Also, as always, if you're enjoying the game, I would REALLY appreciate it if you reviewed it. It's the best thing you can do to support the game if you're enjoying it!

Anyways, that's it for this post, and the next one will be for when the special announcement and the release of the Skin Update! Hope you enjoy!

- Conrad, Lead Developer
