This update includes a New Game +, unlocked after you beat the game atleast once.
Additionally, if you've beaten the game before February 5th of 2024 (or haven't beaten the game yet), you can press the keys Backquote (`) and then Equals (=) on the main menu (does not work ingame) to unlock New Game +.
New Game + is a mix of requested features and new challenges.
Current New Game + features:
All spawners produce two kinds of enemies from throughout the game that drop the same loot. The combination varies between runs
You can turn any land plot (pre-built island) into any previous island you have seen before
A new building that acts like a placeable tower called the "loot collector"
A 2x fast-forward button
Some minor changes have also been done to the regular game as well
The game should lag less when placing new buildings
Enemies follow the path more closely

We've been cooking up this patch for a large helping of months so far, mostly going over the code for performance improvements with lots of mobs and resources. The game should also look and sound a little nicer!
Import changes:

Many performance improvements: loading is faster, higher amounts of mobs, resources, animations, and end-game structures impact framerate less
New potion upgrades, raised requirements for all upgrades and made more upgrade useful
New sounds and more sound reactivity
Minor changes:

Mobs and resources are more transparent while building to improve clarity
Merchant and upgrade menus slide in
Bugfixes with liquid refineries, endgame visual bugs fixed
Smoother loads for certain builds
Rearranged menus
The game will ask before it overrides your save
Weapon info is more descriptive
Some parts of tutorial are more intuitive
Functional bug reporter
As an aside, if you use Unity and want to chat about optimizing your game, I've set up a google form: https://forms.gle/68Vt1LpHFXJkiswN8

Recent patches have done the following

New UI toggle for assembler output
More detailed info for how the refinery works
Ghost nerfed, less health
Slimes nerfed - can only eat one item now
Mimics nerfed - can only eat one item now
Weapons made cheaper
Hydra bullets go less far + are more consistent
Island costs reduced
Final boss costs reduced
Bug reporter moved to the settings menu
Bug fixed where options wouldn't save from the main menu
All weapons should say "requires mana" instead of "electricity" or "magic"
Fixed bridge pickup breaks packs going over multiple islands bug
Hydra bullet bug fixed
Liquid assembler concentration rounding bug fixed
Liquid assembler inconsistency fixed
Fixed pierce no damage/rate of fire on tooltip
Bug where golems would get stuck on a specific tile behind the middle structure fixed
Loading from an old save should be possible on non-english machines that use 1,99 instead of 1.99 for decimal points now
Goal not updating bug fixed
Bug fixed where items & bullets would go through mana pole
There is still a rare bug lurking around where all islands will sometimes not generate. We're working on this one and should have a patch out soon. We're also working on an icon on assemblers showing where they will output, a manual toggle so you can choose their output direction, improvements to the tutorial, and a new building or two.

A major update to the demo is now available on Steam
If you've been following on the Itch.io page or the Discord, we had been releasing updates before up until May on the itch page as a Beta.
For the Steam Strategy Fest, we released a big update to give you all something new to chew on.
The current Steam page shows some of the new content and art.
Major changes, since minor ones are too numerous to list:

The merchant (The cost of weapons scales exponentially)
Four new islands
A boss
Electricity
An inventory
New weapons
Custom music by SO87
Save/load
New utility buildings like the tunneler
Colorization of the art!
A wizard (he has a big hat)
Lots of bugfixes and performance improvements
Crossing 30,000 wishlists
We want to give you all a huge thank you for your support - we're currently sitting at ~36,500 Steam wishlists. In no orbit of earth did we expect to have this many eyes on this project. When we launched the store page we were getting 3-4 wishlists a day, and only until the release of the demo did we think there was going to be any kind of interest. In February we then increased the scope by two or three times to meet the new expectations.

The Mob Factory demo is now public
Hello everyone. This week, we published the Mob Factory demo and the first patch. Also, some people played our game!
The changes made in the Day 2 patch include:

Spanish diacritics should now display correctly
A quit button (We usually deploy to web, where you cannot quit like a desktop app, so we didn't have one until now)
A Vsync button
The bug where Crystal islands would not initialize if you came to them from the top has been fixed (sorry Wanderbots!)
AOE slow should overlap properly now
Items you can't make are now greyed out in assemblers and the crafting menu
Assemblers try not to output into walls, if they can't find a conveyor
Replaced the default tray icon
Over the past two days, some people have played the game, and don't seem to hate it? Huh.

Wanderbots streamed Mob Factory on Twitch
A reddit post hit the front page of r/playmygame
Steam gave the demo a bit of a featuring
Submitting Feedback
We are heavily interested in feedback, especially to make the early game and tutorial more accessible. Let us know what you think on our Discord.
Getting showcased
If you've built a cool base, send a screenshot on our Discord. We might put it in an announcement just like this one.
