Update 0.9 Release Date - Dev Log 54
Hey everyone - welcome to dev log 54!
Last week we looked at the upcoming tutorial system and Shoe House changes; more on that here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1290000/announcements/detail/3228526756466913188
Today, we have a date!
Update 0.9 releases on the day Early Access launched, [h2]May 19th 1 PM UTC / 10 AM EDT / 7 AM PDT [/h2]
We can't wait to celebrate our first birthday with you all! Thanks to everyone for their overwhelming feedback and support so far. It has been one incredible year!
What is coming?
New Community Jobs:
All of these jobs came from community members' suggestions and a public vote; more info here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1290000/announcements/detail/3006699741749732225
Major quality of life features:
In this next update, we don't want only to say we're listening to feedback; we will be adding many community requests and improvements based on your responses.
You can peek at the past few weeks' dev logs for more info on these QOL changes. In the next couple of weeks we'll be giving sneak peaks of the new levels!
We hope everyone is excited about all of the new content and changes.
With Update 0.9 all partially completed levels will autocomplete when you first open them after updating the game. This will only happen once after you load the game after updating.
This autocomplete will give you the correct money owed from the job (both parts and bonus) and let you continue to the next level.
We again don't want to reset everyone's progress completely but with all of the changes coming, save data needs to be brought up to date to avoid issues like the uncleanable surfaces in previous patches.
If you want to avoid this happening, complete your levels or don't enter the jobs you are saving for later before the 19th.
We hope that giving everyone more time will help but again, we apologize to anyone caught by this as we know we won't be able to get this information to everyone.
Good luck and happy washing!
