Hi everyone,
We've just released a new minor patch focused on improving save game stability and adding some early-game guidance. Your feedback has been invaluable, especially regarding initial player frustration and those pesky save bugs!
Changes
Added:
Early Game Guidance: We've introduced a small amount of early-game tutorialization. We're committed to keeping discovery a core part of the experience, but we felt a few very basic mechanics weren't clear, leading to unnecessary player frustration. This new guidance should clear those hurdles!
Improved:
More Predictable Dash: The dash is now much more reliable. No more slipping around trees or, in the worst cases, dashing in the opposite direction you intended!
Fixes:
Save Game Stability: We’ve made major improvements to save game persistence. The new system creates a backup of the last stable save, uses a temporary file during the save process, and automatically reverts to the last working file if any errors occur. Your progress is safer than ever!
Blob Ball Boss: Fixed an issue where the Blob Ball boss would stop shooting projectiles in later Endless Mode games.
Power-up Crates: Power-up crates now consistently play the correct sound and break apart properly when destroyed.
Loud Confetti Sound: The sound effect for unlocking items has been volume-adjusted. (No more overly loud confetti!)
Airdrop Item Combining: Fixed a bug where combining items in the Airdrop could sometimes lock the continue button, forcing you to restart the day.
Repairing and Selling: The item tooltip will no longer get stuck when you attempt to repair and sell an item simultaneously. (Seriously, why are you doing that anyway?)
Pet Collision: Your pet will no longer block target evaluation raycasts.
Apple Press Currency: Currencies regarding the usage of the Apple Press are now saved correctly.
Unreachable Loot: Enemies and bosses will no longer spawn loot or experience out of the reachable play area.
Boss Defeated Cutscene: Fixed a bug that could cause the boss defeat cutscene to get stuck (e.g., the dynamite hovering but the explosion never triggering).
Stats Screen: The Stats screen will no longer sometimes display negative numbers.
Swining Chair Teleport: Fixed the bug where clicking a Point of Interest (POI) while sitting in the swinging chair in your base could sometimes teleport the player out of the map.
