A Great Busy Week
Moving on with Patch/Update 016 today:
I hope to be setting things up next week for adding in little touches of direction and depth, a Cozy Mode (great idea from the community) in which Hunger and Thirst will not decrease for those that wish to have a more casual experience.
While the game is preferred in Permanent Death, I understand this may not be desirable with frequent updates and I gladly make the compromise.
Beta branch
Successfully tested. I hope to not have forced updates every day for the Main Branch/Game, and that this will lead to more substantial and meaningful updates for those that which to play on the "stable" (it's getting there!) build as opposed to opting in to the experimental/beta.
I will announce when the Beta Build is ready to opt into
Thank you as always for being such an active and great community as the progress continues!
