[h2]Bug fix[/h2]

• [p]Aim Perk will now appear in the rare perk pool[/p]

[p][/p][p]Sneaky weekend patch to fix Aim not appearing in the game - now you can complete that recipe.[/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy! ːRoPFrogː[/p]

[p]What a week it's been.[/p][p]We've been updating daily since launch and now we're heading into the weekend! [/p][p]We've smashed through dozens of bugs this week and are finally starting to move onto quality of life improvements, adjustments and new features. The fun stuff![/p][p][/p][h2]Game speed options[/h2][p]After watching players and reading feedback we've done an overhaul on the game speed options in the Settings menu to make it easier to see what's happening on a turn. We've also renamed the speeds.[/p][p]By default, the game now starts on Normal speed - we've added a lot more spacing between actions activating, repeats and enemy turns so when a combat turn plays out it's much easier to see what's happening.[/p][p]We also have Fast and Faster speeds - Fast is closer to how the game was paced previously by default. Faster is for my fellow speedy hyped gamers who want everything to resolve at lightspeed.[/p][p][/p][h2]Improvements[/h2]

• [p]Neuron Activation virus strain now has spacing between the actions you captured and the actions activated by the Perk. Stlil more work to do here.[/p]
• [p]Newly completed Research Recipes now appear on both "in progress" and "completed" tabs.[/p]
• [p]Actions being dealt from the deck and discarded now have particle trails for extra visibility[/p]
• [p]Unstable mutation art hookup. You can all thank Olexa for noticing a questionable piece of art wasn't fully implemented... Enjoy! You should know it when you see it.[/p]
• [p]Swap brain ability now has a Cancel button[/p]

[p] [/p][h2]Bug fix[/h2]

• [p]Fixed a softlock when activating a Brain Ability without moving the cursor at the start of combat[/p]
• [p]Fixed a softlock from placing a block when an enemy is fleeing.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a softlock from spam clicking an encounter after the Rabbit event[/p]
• [p]Fixed a visual issue with Bleed Everyone level 3.[/p]
• [p]Fixes for speech[/p]
• [p]Specimen event can only appear once per run[/p]
• [p]Fix Bone Plating's name[/p]
• [p]Fix for virus strains not correctly unlocking on Virus Select UI[/p]
• [p]Locked Physical action on Stunlock now has a trail[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h2]Balance[/h2]

• [p]Barrier level 3 now only gives 2 Barrier[/p]
• [p]Hunger virus strain is going through design adjustments because it is too difficult! This still needs more of a rework, but we've added Feint, adjusted the Shields and made the Brain size bigger... It's still probably the most difficult strain to play and needs more attention.[/p]

[p][/p][p]To be continued!...[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again all for your feedback and reports.[/p][p]Feel free to join us on the Twice Different Discord for more discussion. We'll soon be sharing our roadmap and running more Discord events for players to suggest future content.[/p]

[p]Hi all, [/p][p]It seems like the save fixes are holding up. Our only reports so far are from people noticing the delayed effect.[/p][p]It's worth noting: If you happened to be affected by the bug on day 1 or 2 of launch, you will only see the issue the next time you open the game. Opening a new version of the game will not restore previously unsaved progress, so it may look like you lost the progress by downloading the new version but this is not the case. The issue was the older version failed to save some of the progress for some players.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][h2]Bug fix[/h2]

• [p]Fixed an issue with Grapple actions sometimes targeting the wrong enemy[/p]
• [p]Altered how speech is displayed to see if it fixes speech issues[/p]
• [p]Fixes for some Russian text being too long, and Owl having the wrong name[/p]
• [p]Fix for Stop Hitting Yourself achievement[/p]
• [p]Fixed visual issues with virus selection[/p]
• [p]Fix block pivot on one of the weird shapes[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Balance[/h2]

• [p]Armadillo adjustment to assist other builds defeating it, and put it in a higher difficulty for more prep time (may continue adjusting)[/p]
• [p]Target Mouse has 1 Physical attack so Spike and Counter builds can defeat it[/p]
• [p]Bucket now does 2 damage to everyone to help defensive builds get through the combat[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Improvements[/h2]

• [p]Opossum adjusted to look more like an Opossum, for all the hardcore Opossum fans out there[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all for your continued feedback and reports.[/p]

[p]Hi all, [/p][p]Thank you for all the bug reports - we're actively working on solving the save issue some players are having. It's absolutely critical and highest priority for us.[/p][p]It's a nightmare for any team to have such an issue be missed in our quality assurance testing, and we're a tiny team. We appreciate your patience with this, we want to deliver the best experience possible.[/p][p][/p][h2]Save and Quit fixes[/h2]

• [p]Fix for the Quit button. There may be a slight delay on quitting, this is in case there's a connection issue when shutting down. In most situations this won't be noticeable.[/p]
• [p]Adjusted the saving process with more safeguards, as well as more debug logs for us to diagnose issues. [/p][p][/p]

[p]Because the saving issue doesn't happen consistently it's very hard to test and reproduce, which is the biggest challenge for us. [/p][p]With this latest patch it's not appearing in our internal testing, but we have limited capacity and different hardware to the thousands of players in the game. We are continuing to test and investigate this even with the patch live, as it's very important to get it fixed as soon as possible.[/p][p]
The best course of action to help us diagnose it if it reoccurs is adding more debugging logs, so any bug reports sent will give us more detailed info on what's happening.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you to those who've sent us their save folders to help us debug. [/p][p]If you see the issue again, we've put bug reporting instructions in the Steam forum, as well as on our Discord.[/p][p] [/p][h2]Bug fix[/h2]

• [p]Fixed an issue where skipping a choice event caused some controller buttons to stop working in combat[/p]
• [p]Fixed Fasting Perk's not setting health to 1[/p]
• [p]Fix visual board number on Scratch level 3[/p]
• [p]Fix for issue in the Evolution event where clicking offscreen may accidentally grow a block[/p]

[p][/p][p]Thank you all for supporting our launch! We're doing our best to make sure the save issue is resolved hastily, and look forward to making new content in the near future.[/p][p]We're closely monitoring all reports and feedback and really appreciate you playing our game and helping us make it the best it can be.[/p]
