Hey everyone!
Me again, and back so soon after the announcement of the demo release yesterday. Whilst it is super exciting for new and potential players, there wasn't anything for the current players. I was saving all the even juicier things for this update!
There is some pretty big fixes in this update, as well as some flashier changes to the store. Some of you may have experienced the issue where you get to Night 3 but you have a couple tasks from the previous night. That is now fixed, well.. a temporary workaround. (To note: The actual issue itself isn't fixed but it is a known issue with the plugin I use for the system). But I tested it a bunch of times, and didn't run into any problems - so if you do, please let me know!
I started in my last update, implementing random spawns for items. This update introduces a few more types of items randomising, so some items that were in a spot in one playthrough may not be there in the next.
Work is still continuing on the next big content update (hint: more shifts... and scarier*), so please keep an eye out for that. Here is a little teaser of what is to come.
* I hope
