What happened
On November 5 I shipped update 0.9.4 with a packaging mistake: the game files ended up in a subfolder, so Steam reported “missing game executable” and Survivecraft refused to start. That one is entirely on me – I'm sorry for the frustration, especially so shortly after launch.
What I did
- Rolled back to 0.9.3 as soon as I saw the reports.
- The fixed build 0.9.4b is live now. Steam downloads a small update (about 1 MB) and the game starts again.
- If it still won't start: right-click Survivecraft in your library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.
So this never happens again
Every upload now runs through an automatic packaging check that refuses any build where the executable isn't exactly where Steam expects it. No more hand-packed builds.
What's new in 0.9.4
- Loot machine after the final boss – the boss chest is looted automatically: pull the lever (Space / A / click), the reels spin, and you get regular loot or a jackpot (double materials, an item of at least epic quality, triple gold).
- Co-op action bars – each player now has their own bar at the bottom left/right, slightly transparent, with controller buttons shown per player.
- Pop-ups close with Esc or X, plus a ✕ button in the corner.
- The Pumpkin Crown costume finally sits on the hero's head instead of floating above it.
Thanks for your patience – and for all the feedback since launch. Keep it coming!
