Small but important ones here, apologies for the patch spam. Overall things are looking stable given how much had to slide around for mods/co-op. Thanks all! Fixed a bug where the Nova achievement wasn't correctly being tracked Fixed a bug where pausing and unpausing during the "
Apologies for this one, a nasty bug. Fixes a bug where certain achievements and unlocks weren't being tracked properly. Additionally, all steam achievements are now localized and the game now has a Chinese title & logo. Thanks all, Marvin Wizard
Howdy All, Big patch under the hood here. This has all of the infrastructure changes required for local co-op and modding. I just have a bit more QA to do before it goes live. Aside from that, there is a major update to how reroll gems work. They are now permanent, but their drop
Howdy Everyone, Long time no patch. This is a small but important one, it fixes OpenGL for players on integrated graphics and hopefully makes the game a bit more accessible for low end systems. I also fixed an issue with the font used for simplified Chinese where the character 回

Howdy All, Couple things to cover here. You may have noticed a few bundles on the Steam page now. Vampire Survivors was of course a large influence on the game, so it is really awesome to have them bundled with Vital Shell. And then BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO H
