This update is mostly build around a whole new Mission system, and that means there’s been a lot of changes under the hood of the game to make it all work and flow.
Besides the whole new mission-select screen, and missions to complete, there have been a huge amount of tiny changes to improve the gameplay and balance, and I’ve been hunting a bunch of hard-to-find bugs which needed fixing. There are still some of those harder bugs in there, but no game-breaking ones, which is good!
Save games aren’t working yet, mostly because there’s still a bunch of things that might change and that would absolutely break every save-game file anyway. But the ground-work for all those things are being done under the hood.
As always just grab your copy from Patreon and dive into it!
