Festive Co-Op Games

Hopefully, like me, you’ll have booked a bit of time off around the festive period. And coincidentally, Valve’s Winter Steam Sale kicked off just a couple of days before Christmas. Since so many of us and our friends are off, this marks the perfect time of year to dip your toe into the wonderful world of co-operative games.

v0.23.1 - Spoiling and resilience tweaks, optimizations and more

While we have started work on the next update, I wanted to get this smaller one out based on some of the feedback you have given from the previous one.

I'll keep it short. It's smaller tweaks to food spoiling, resilience as well as other smaller changes, bug fixes and translation updates.

With the overwhelming feedback for the upcoming graphics overhaul, here's another teaser for you :D

I will of course keep an eye out for any other issues and feedback! :)

Until the next update, happy holidays and happy New Year! 🎉
