Hermit and Pig News

[p]Howdy folks! Another update for you. This time, we’ve added a few features requested by players:[/p]

• [p]Steam screenshots should work now.[/p]
• [p]Steam Cloud saving should work now, so you should be able to open your save file across devices. IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of how Steam handles transfers, whichever device you open first will overwrite the save files on any device you open afterward. So if your main file is on your Steam Deck and a second, less important file is on your PC, you should open the game on your Steam Deck first, then open it on your PC.[/p]
• [p]On non-standard aspect ratios, you will now see a patterned border around battles and conversations. It was a design choice on our end to limit the battle/conversation aspect ratio to ensure animations and layouts are consistent. The old black border wasn’t a bug! With the patterned border, it should now be clearer that the size of battles and conversations is intentional.[/p]

[p]For those that got this error following the last update, it should be fixed now! Make sure to restart Steam to ensure you get the latest version. Apologies for the inconvenience!
