FreeHolder Alpha 7 Hotfix 7

1.25.2020

Fixes, Fixes, Fixes...
I'm getting rid of as many longstanding bugs as I possibly can, and really solidifying and glitch-proofing the core Survival Mode experience, before I push on for the many planned updates and reworking of the midgame, Campaign Mode stuff. I suspect it will probably be two or three more hotfixes and a few weeks before I can actually do this, but I will keep updating and keep you all in the loop of when I'm rounding the corner and getting ready to actually add new features. Please keep posting your bugs on the bug fixes forum; your help is crucial in getting this game to be as good as it should be. Thank you all!
