[h3]Hey Squirrels! 🐿️[/h3]
We are happy to inform you that the issue affecting some players' saves, which caused building progression to reset, certain quests to be auto-completed unexpectedly, and prevented further building, has now been fully resolved.

Our team has thoroughly investigated and addressed the root cause, which was related to the Daredevil questline. You should now be able to continue your gameplay without encountering these issues. Unfortunately, the buildings that has disappeared will not come back as that information is no longer stored in the save file. We are sorry that this bug made it into the game to begin with.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. Thank you for your continued support and for sharing valuable feedback with us. We are committed to providing the best experience possible, and we're excited to have you back to enjoying the game!

[h3]The wait is over, Squirreled Away is officially available for you to play TODAY! Welcome to the park, Squirrels! 🐿️🌳[/h3]

Our journey started with a small team fresh out of university, fueled by passion, creativity, and countless hours of dedication. Today, we get to share that hard work with the world.

Squirreled Away was inspired by our daily commutes – watching squirrels leap effortlessly between branches, and “squirreling away” their treasures. Their movement, freedom, and playful nature became the foundation of a game we believe players will love. We truly believe that Squirreled Away offers something unique in the survival genre.

From the early demo days to now, your support has meant the world to us. We’ve read your comments, laughed at your squirrelly antics, and felt the hype grow with every step. This game wouldn’t be the same without YOU, our incredible community. Thank you for being part of this wild adventure! ❤️

Now, it’s time to jump in, explore, and have an absolute blast playing Squirreled Away! And why not explore the park together with your friends in online co-op! 🎮✨

[h3]We want to hear from you![/h3]
Your feedback helps shape the future of Squirreled Away. 🛠️ Let’s make this the coziest, most fun squirrel-filled experience together! Drop your thoughts here or join our Discord to chat with us directly.
