"It's like a whooole neeew gaaame..."

Greetings Romans!

Thank you so much for your unending patience! We're finally ready to present to you the next playtest update, bringing a whole cart-centipede's worth of features and fixes!

IMPORTANT INFO

With the introduction of 0.19.1, a vast majority of your previously saved items will vanish completely or become debug icons, due a complete overhaul being done to item ID's, names, crafting recipes, and appearances.

Additionally, your characters will most likely change appearance due to palettes and body type changes/additions.

We highly recommend creating a new world and character for this reason.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but such is the nature of playtests!
