Hello bosses!
Firstly, a round of applause and heartfelt THANKS to all of our lovely reviewers - your positive comments on the game motivates us to do even better for you! Now to business!
We're pleased to announce Patch 1.1 is now LIVE! This patch is mostly a QoL, bugfixing, and usability patch that addresses most of the common concerns, a few exploits, and adds new tutorial and onboarding for players to make playing the game easier for newcomers.
Critically, we have now enabled streaming saving for the game - with this feature, you no longer need to close your game manually in order to trigger a save routine. Saving takes place automatically as you play the game, and you can safely leave your computer on AFK - you'll be able to keep your progress, even if you close your computer, alt F4 randomly, or Annie summons a meteor to your local power grid. Try it out and let us know!
