Sometimes Always Monsters - Build Update # 406

Launch day was crazy and we're so happy that so many of you have been playing through the game. The feedback has been great, but also embarrassing. When we set to launch, we genuinely thought the game was relatively problem-free.

While there haven't been too many game-breaking issues, we're getting a lot of reports about little issues that need to be solved. So, we are hammering them as fast as possible.

We're really grateful to those of you who encounter bugs, and report them. There's only so far our 2-man team can get when testing a game with this much variance, and so we appreciate the communication (especially our Discord crew). We will continue updating the game, until the game is issue free.
