Hey folks! Sorry for the delay - we wanted to get a little extra QA in and also got sidetracked doing some weird code signing stuff that may or may not have actually worked. ANYWAYS:

• Fixed accidental roadblocks
  
• Dogs can push stuff now
  
• Rebalanced out-of-gas scenarios
  
• Minor rebalance on pickups
  
• Updated wood shield and stick assets
  

Y'all won't be able to tell hopefully but we also rebuilt our deployment automation, which will help us keep the PC stores sync'd up more easily, and comply with some weird new security stuff too. Basically, future patches are even easier to upload.

Hey folks - fresh patch here for your weekend adventures!

Stunning: impact effects like explosions will stun creatures, freezing them for one turn.

• Testing improvements for mouse axes and variable refresh monitors

• Misc balancing + difficulty adjustments
  

Played through a few biomes tonight taking all this stuff for a spin and I really like where things are headed. We're prototyping a couple more big UX improvements targeting a Halloween release, but we'll have more updates about those soon. Thanks again for traveling through the unknown with us!

Hey folks - today's patch is a small one, but fixes some important stuff:

• Woodlands and grasslands pharmacies have been rebalanced.
  
• Fixed a bug with negative-HP shields in certain rare scenarios.
  
• Fixed an issue with telefragging yourself without actually teleporting.
  
• Fixed an issue with backpacks at camps.
  
• Fixed an issue with fidgety traders.
  

We're also continuing to look at other learning curve issues and will have more updates about those things soon. Thanks!

Hey folks! I wanted to just take a minute to give an overview of the updates that we put together this week. We've been listening, watching, and working to address some of the most glaring issues that made it past us toward the end of development, and I'm really excited for folks to spend time with the version of the game that's up here now. We were at build number 600 for launch day, and are already at build number 622.

Some of the improvements include:

• Major fixes to the Twitch integration, including better support for map voting, viewer role-play, and more.
  
• A new confirmation popup if you're thinking about leaving a level without the rest of your group.
  
• Big upgrades to the Inspect window's functionality.
  
• Ground items get contextual outlines as you play.
  
• Complete overhaul for d-pad / arrow-key inputs.
  
• Variety of pacing and difficulty adjustments.
  
• Improvements to the AI scavengers.
  
• New camera axis settings.
  
• Reworked intro levels.
  

We've got a lot more stuff planned, but it seems like these changes are making a big difference already. Good luck out there!
