Hello everybody!

We’re back once again with a new update, addressing some of the most common bugs reported so far. It looks like our save corruption system had a few holes — which should now be fixed.

This time, our major focus has been on fixing as many bugs as possible. We've also addressed some balance issues and quality-of-life requests. We'll keep working on these updates until all bugs are resolved and the game's balance reaches a state we're happy with. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is already working on future content.

And speaking of future content — we’ve been getting questions about it non-stop lately, and yes, we will be publishing a roadmap for the Early Access content very soon. Spoiler: Mod support is included in the roadmap.

Thank you once again for your support and understanding. We’re a small team with only one programmer, and we can’t fix everything as fast as we’d like to. 🙏

Enemy spawn rates under our radar

We've noticed a couple of bugs regarding enemy spawn rates, and by fixing them the enemy spawn rate got too low. We've been tweaking the numbers to make them fair and consistent to players, but It may need further tweaking in the next update. Please share with us how you feel about the enemy spawn rates!

One of these bugs was dividing the enemy spawn timer by two every time the player changed a "chunk", which is something that occurs very frequently when moving around. This meant that enemies would spawn much faster than intended, and that items that modify the enemy spawn rates (talisman, swarm potion, etc) wouldn't work properly, or at all.
