It's great to be adding new features now, rather than just fixing bugs. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments - it's amazing to hear how many of you are enjoying the game! Thanks also for the bug reports - these are really important so we appreciate you taking the time to send them.
This is a summary of the last 5 patches, since we last did an announcement.
Patch notes, 1.172
Load a game without exiting to main menu
F8 now saves into a dedicated quicksave slot rather than over-writing the current ‘main’ save file
You can now save over another save slot rather than having to save as new slot then delete old slot
Added a label to draw attention to player-notes feature in journal
You can now milk goats even if your character doesn’t specifically need goats milk right now
Labelled the keyboard remapping controls more clearly
Fixed the issue with the hole into the fever ward being gone in subsequent playthroughs
Patch notes, 1.173
Fixed a bug that had dead Robyn taking part in the hide-and-seek game
Added a door so that the guard at the east (slums) gate can let you through when the gate is locked (from chapter 3)
Fixed bug that was causing various objects to be absent from the world on subsequent playthroughs (note: if you are currently playing a game with this problem already saved in its file, this won’t fix it- the bug was when a new game was started after exiting to menu from a previous game). If anyone is in a playthru and needs their save file fixing, please contact me in our Discord.
