Hotfix: There was an issue where the game would freeze, this has since been resolved.
With two more weeks of development done, we have been able to fix up a lot of issues and added plenty of polish to the game. The goal here to have 1.0.5 be the final V1.0 version release before we start development of V1.1, which will come with bigger game-changing features.
This patch also marks the end of full-time ongoing development of TCT. After a short break of about two weeks, we're going to resume development at roughly 1-2 days per week for the coming months. There still are plenty of neat and important features on our list of things we want to add to the game though, and we're looking forward to showing you more about what that is soon.
The elusive overview... now actually showing up a lot more instead of twitchy UI.
In case you prefer to watch an update video with some more discussion on the implemented changes, here it is!
