Hello Everyone!
Progress on the Vectorio remake is coming along exceptionally well, with the new creator tool now finished and working. I should have more information to share on the remake soon, along with a playable demo of some sort. If you want to follow along with the remake progress, join our Discord below!

In the meantime, I thought it would sort of be a cool idea to look back on the classic version of Vectorio before the remake takes the spotlight. So, I have gone back through all the builds and made every major release available! (with the most stable version for that release) I've listed each of the versions below, along with how to gain access to them if you don't already know how. Hope you all enjoy!
Vectorio - Update 1 (vanilla)
Played the very first version of Vectorio and want to revisit it? Now you can! Opt into the Update 1 branch by following the steps below to regain access to Update 1 (and your update 1 saves, if they still exist!)

1. Navigate to "Vectorio" in your Steam library
2. Right-click on Vectorio, and click on properties

Vectorio - Update 3
Finally, the most recent version of Vectorio - Update 3! Because an update will be dropping for Vectorio classic that will tidy up a few things, I have made the current version of Update 3 permanently available on this branch. (it's no different than the live branch at this time though)
How to gain access to Update 3
1. Navigate to "Vectorio" in your Steam library
2. Right-click on Vectorio, and click on properties
3. Navigate to the betas tab in the properties window
4. In the drop-down, select update-3 and hit apply!
