Our first update!
This build fixes and adds a lot to the game. There is too much to go over just yet and we plan to add more soon so just hang tight!
Closed testers, please read
If you are participating in the closed testing please do the following:
Go to %localappdata%/don_t_sink and delete everything in that folder. The previous public build had a different buffer format for some files and this will result in a crash and other issues when loading old save files.
