We're going to try and keep pushing bug fixes separate from the major content updates when we can. We're pretty proud of this update cuz we finally found some of the culprits of our most recent performance problems, and we even fixed some of our old ones. We're still brainstorming other fixes that we hope to release.
For a while, the Update notes and the Discord have been our only way of dropping lore. We experimented with some story tools in the tutorial, but that has consistently also been our most broken level. I've played through the tutorial too many times to count, including this morning, and it's working. You can use escape to get out of some of the instructional content, but I kinda like some of the jokes and Easter eggs we've managed to fit in there.
We hope you enjoy playing
