    Hotfix is out

    A lot of you lost saves, watched your warehouse disappear, or fell straight through the map. That sucked. I’m sorry. I’m one guy making this game. I rushed the launch to get it to you and let way too many bugs through. My fault.Hotfix just went live. Here’s what it fixes:- Save bug, now the saves work properly- Warehouse disappearance bug- Items and player falling through the map bug- Teleport bug (which was placed in unnecessary places and broke everything)- Made more upgrade levels, as requestedThe game should feel stable now. You can play without it eating your progress every ten minutes.There are still some smaller bugs left, but I’m working on those right now. Next patches come in the next few days.If something is still broken, please, let me know through the Steam Discussions, or via Discord with a screenshot or video if you can. Helps me find it fast.Thanks for hanging in there even when the game was a mess. Means a lot.Back to fixing
