Hello, we're finally here! Thank you all very much for supporting the game! Tired of randomly generated levels? Why, just make your own with this latest update!

Added missing Discord Rich Presence icons to Peaceful Rush & Fright Night contracts.
Added Steam Workshop to upload your levels

There are a TON of various parameters when it comes to how making levels and level files under the hood, so feel free to let us know in our official Discord if there are any issues and we'll handle it as soon as possible.
If you have any issues with your game, you can revert back to the previous version of the game by doing the following steps:

In your game library list, right-click the game's name and click 'Properties'.
Select 'Betas'
In the dropdown list, select the 'version13' beta version.
Your game will revert back to the previous version (your save data should be cross-compatible between versions but no guarantees).
And as always, if you spot any bugs or just want to say hello, we have a public Discord server to make this easy! Just click the link right here! Thank you once again for supporting the game, and we hope you enjoy the new content.
Thank you very much for the support thus far and don't take the fact that the game is out of early access meaning that the game will not receive any further content! If any bugs show up, they'll be squashed! If any misbehaviours happen, we'll step in and have a word with those agents so they'll know better for the future.
Keep stealing papers, keep stopping those guards, and keep raking in that money!

Version 1.2

Welcome back to our latest major update! Can you believe it's been over a month since release?!
Now, what good is an agency with just *one* agent? Getting all this money is certainly no easy feat, so other, similarly qualified individuals have heard about the job stream and are willing to give you a call about some work prospects... if you're worthy enough!
Here are the patchnotes:

Added 3 new characters to play as! Be careful though, they may not be easy to acquire...
Added a new music track (by https://www.kenney.nl/)!
Added a new contract! Now computers can give secret documents too! Watch out for others hearing you click the computer!
6 new achievements to achieve!
Fixed some sprites blurring when they should not have.
Minor random adjustments, fixes and other nonsense.
Wow, that sure is a lotta stuff, huh? Whats more, if there are any issues with the update, your save data should be automagically backed up upon update! Isn't that great?
You can access your save data by doing the following:

In your game library list, right-click the game's name and click 'Properties'.
Select 'Local Files'
Click the 'Browse...' button to access the game's folder
All save data is in the directory saved in the folder called 'SaveDir' in a file called 'info.cfg'. You can backup this file wherever and whenever you want. The 'infoBACKUP.cfg' file is the autogenerated copy from the last time the game was run (you can use this as the main save file by just removing the word 'BACKUP' from the name). The 'infopreupdate12.cfg' file is a similarly autogenerated copy, but it is only made once (it never updates).
If any issues come up during the game, you can swap the game back to the previous version as a 'beta' branch. To do so, perform the following:

In your game library list, right-click the game's name and click 'Properties'.
Select 'Betas'
In the dropdown list, select the 'version111' beta version.
Your game will revert back to the previous version (your save data should be cross-compatible between versions but no guarantees).
And as always, if you spot any bugs or just want to say hello, we have a public Discord server to make this easy! Just click the link right here! Thank you once again for supporting the game, and we hope you enjoy the new content.

Thank you all for playing! You can now spend your hard-earned money as well as your documents for MORE hard-earned money!!

Upgrade shop added! You can buy new contracts as well as clothing and other stuff!
Customisable clothing colours!
You can sell documents earned!
Fixed being able to pause when another screen was on.
Fixed scoring screen not fully showing all the scoring information..
Whenever you start the game, a backup of your ‘info.cfg’ is created. This backup is overwritten every time you start it.
Added four (!) new achievements to get.
This update effects save data quite a bit (since it needs to store all the cool loot you have purchased). To accommodate this, a simple save backup system has been implemented. You can access your save data by doing the following:

In your game library list, right-click the game's name and click 'Properties'.
Select 'Local Files'
Click the 'Browse...' button to access the game's folder
All save data is in the directory saved in the folder called 'SaveDir' in a file called 'info.cfg'. You can backup this file wherever and whenever you want. The 'infoBACKUP.cfg' file is the autogenerated copy from the last time the game was run (you can use this as the main save file by just removing the word 'BACKUP' from the name).
If any issues come up during the game, you can swap the game back to the previous version as a 'beta' branch. To do so, perform the following:

In your game library list, right-click the game's name and click 'Properties'.
Select 'Betas'
In the dropdown list, select the 'version102' beta version.
Your game will revert back to the previous version (your save data should be cross-compatible between versions but no guarantees).
Thank you once again for the support! The shop's stock is certainly going to expand as more major updates come...
