If you haven’t heard yet, we’re going to be at PAX East with the Indie Megabooth!
We’ve been pretty busy over the past week preparing for PAX, so today’s update is not as content-heavy as usual. The next update will probably be much smaller as well, as we’ll be taking a week off to travel to Boston for the convention. After that though, we’ll be back to our normal schedule. If you were expecting some more content, sorry! This is busy couple of weeks for us, but things should calm down after the next update.
This new build features many bugfixes, tweaks, and a couple of new features. The biggest thing you’ll note is we’ve added support for Save/Continue. Instead of abandoning a run because you don’t have time to finish it, you can now Save and Exit during any intermission. This feature is still very young, so it may have a couple of kinks to iron out, so if you find any bugs please let us know.
