20 000 copies sold! THANK YOU!

[p]We've sold just over 20K copies across Steam and Nintendo Switch, thanks a lot everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We're a bit quiet these days, but that's because we're working on hard on the next free content update, we want to make it worth it to boot the game again for players who will have finished the game by the time the update releasesːlumionsmirkː! [/p][p][/p][p]It's still a few months off, but we'll try to patch in some highly requested QoL before (stuff like disabling the rodent eating sounds/animation in-game!)[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again, and don't forget to leave a review if you haven't! Let's try to get to 1K review!!ːtsatmlightningːːkigleanː[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again! [/p][p]Alex & Luka[/p]

[public preview branch] 1.1 patch

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We'll start sharing some gameplay updates and patches in this public_preview branch before they're released to the public, both for safety and give you a chance to give feedback if you'd like to! [/p][p][/p][p]To access it, simply right click your game in Steam, and select Beta, and "public_preview" in the dropdown. It will redownload the game. Your save will be unaffected. You can change branches whenever you want.[/p][p][/p][p]Doing a backup of the save folder %appdata%/../locallow/Alblune/Squeakross is recommended for safety.[/p][p][/p][p]Here are the patch notes:[/p]

Upcoming bug fixes

[p]Hello everyone![/p][p][/p][p]Just to let you know what we're currently working on:[/p][p][/p]
  • [p]SWITCH: We're waiting for Nintendo (😩) to approve a patch that fixes infinite puzzle loading and rodent images not loading. [/p]
    • [p]Reminder that you can fix the loading issue by turning off "Auto-Cross empty lines at start"[/p]
  • [p]STEAM: The next patch will contain the following fixes:[/p]
    • [p][Auto-Cross completed lines] will work correctly and be more robust. Auto placed crosses will have a slightly different color to help you keep track of them.[/p]
    • [p]Mouse precision at high speed will be improved: you won't be able to overshoot with auto cross complete on, for example! [/p]
    • [p]Fix for achievements not being granted (especially the Furniture Sets achievements). They will be given retroactively when opening the game again.[/p]
    • [p]We're also working on a system to create a save backup. Steam cloud seems to be notorious for, on very rare occasions, corrupting your save. I encourage you to back it up manually! Save location is "%appdata%/../LocalLow/Alblune/Squeakross"[/p]
    • [p]A previously non-copyrighted music track is now copyrighted. We removed it from the streamer mode playlist.[/p]
[p]You can expect that patch next week.[/p][p]Once we're done with this, we'll start working on fixing the many minor bugs reported! Most of them are related to house decoration and stickers![/p][p]We'll also start adding some requested QoL like being able to start from the top-left corner (and many more)! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Please keep in mind that the Switch version will receive updates at a slower pace because of how heavy the patching process is on that platform. [/p][p][/p][h3]We also passed 10K units sold! Thanks everyone for the support! News about free content update coming soon! [/h3][p][/p][p]Thank you, and don't forget to take a break...some of you are too addicted.... 😳[/p]
