[p][/p][p]Hi everyone, we’ve got some good news![/p][p][/p][p]We’ve started working with the publisher Spaghetti Cat. They’ll be helping us with marketing and promotion, which means we can focus on polishing the game and preparing for release.[/p][p]It’s a big step for both our team and the project, and we hope it helps even more players discover In Trusted Hands.[/p][p]So now you can follow the project updates on the publisher’s social media as well: https://taplink.cc/bright_spaghetti_cat [/p][p][/p][p]And of course, we’re joining Steam Next Fest. We’ll be updating the demo for the festival, so we’d love to see you there ❤️[/p][p][/p][p]That’s all for now. Thanks for being with us, and see you on Monday![/p][p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]We’re continuing to polish the demo and have released a small but important update. The game now does a better job of explaining itself.[/p][p][/p][p]What we added and improved:[/p][p][/p][p]• Dialogues are visually cleaner. Characters in conversations are now larger and easier to read
• Added an energy drain animation so you can clearly see how you get tired
• Added stress growth visualization with no surprises and no “where did this come from?” moments
• Fines for working under the table now come with clear visual indicators[/p][p]And yes, we fixed a bug that sometimes allowed fines to be paid for free. That loophole is closed 🙂[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks to everyone playing the demo and sending feedback. It really helps us keep moving forward.[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]

[p][/p][p]We’ve uploaded an updated version of the demo with several fixes aimed at making the experience smoother and more reliable.[/p][p]What’s been fixed:[/p][p]An issue where time could freeze in the evening before closing the shop[/p][p]Cursor positioning problems in the in-game computer messages when playing with a gamepad[/p][p]A bug affecting spare parts delivery when ordering in the evening[/p][p]Thank you to everyone who played the demo and shared feedback — it really helps.[/p][p]If you run into any other issues, feel free to let us know.[/p]
