Hey everyone, we just released a new update for Windforge. The highlights of this update include bug fixes and a secret unlockable dev mode. This mode will be mostly useful for people that wish to cheat or mod the game. I will post the details of the unlockable dev mode to the forum soon. Here's a detailed change list:

Fixed the driftstone platform and driftstone supports recipe spawning.
Fixed an enemy spawning error.
Added a dev mode that will be used to unlock some functionality that will be helpful for modding and cheating.
Fixed a bug that was preventing the players name from getting saved properly.
Fixed a problem with the life meter in the character stats screen.
Fixed a problem that was causing blocks to disappear when placing objects that cause grid resizing. (the bug where blocks would disappear when placing propellers).
Fixed the problem with the giant kraken corpses disappearing after you kill them.
Fixed bug where the meat beater achievement wouldn't be awarded with master craft or quality sausages.
Made it so poison and other similar effects will be cleared when you die.
