Hey everyone, happy new years! I wanted to let you all know that v2.22 is out!
Fixed issue with volumetrics causing a black screen
Fixed potential softlock with Helpsie
Fixed issue with Helpsie repeatedly talking about that plant (sorry!)
Upgraded the internal engine, should hopefully see faster loading times, minor performance improvements, etc
Linux support (please allow some time to resolve any issues, this is my first time!)
Plenty of other super minor fixes and improvements
What's Next?
Act 2 (this year??)
Within a few weeks I'll begin working on Act 2 again! I took a break for the holiday, but I'm excited to get back into it. I'm hoping to get it out this year, but we'll see... I'll share more updates soon!
Stability
Another one of my goals for 2026 is stability, I'm working super hard on an extensive testing system which lets me build and maintain automated test pipelines, essentially gaurenteeing every element of the game works as it should. I'm really optimistic about this because testing this game manually is a PAIN. (Manual testing of each feature and scene easily takes 4-5 hours... this game has that much content)
Official Wiki -- Coming Soon
I'm currently working on an official wiki for you all! We do currently have a fandom wiki, but its full of ads, hard to maintain, etc. I think its really important to have an active wiki to help new players catchup on things they perhaps missed, or to speedrun knowledge. As you hopefully know, all of the Costek games take place in the same universe, this new solution will allow us to have all of the costek games in the same place! I'm really excited about it, I'll share more in the future!
Thanks for your patience and care for this game, I hope 2026 is just as productive as last year!
