Hi Grifters!

We've just enabled cloud saves for the game (and in experimental). So now you can grift from multiple computers!

This update also fixes a couple of things that showed up in the last 24 hours or so:

• Zig Zag: Fix crash if there are no targets left to wound.
  
• Fix crash in fight screen when using a gamepad.
  
• Fix input issue that was ignoring some mouse clicks when also pressing keyboard keys when playing cards.
  
• Fix UI overlap in audio option screen.
  
• Fix crash in manipulate conversation.
  
• Fixed a couple of missed localization strings.
  
• Fixed missing hit FX for new bandit goon.
  
• Fix crash when selecting prestige in the NewGameScreen if you previously selected prestige 0 and then returned to the sidebar.
  
• Fix issue with continue button when you return to the main menu after manually deleting your save file.
  
• Re-export the 1080p texture pack at a slightly higher resolution (it was a little blurry).
  
• Added --highres and --lowres command line parameters to force a particular texture pack, for players who want to pick manually.
  
• Fix Counter attack sometimes attacking an ally of the attacker if the attacker was already targetted by other enemies.
  
• Improved Chinese Translation.

Hi Grifters!

This update adds a Brawl mode for Rook. Once you've completed his story at prestige zero, you will be able to play accelerated runs working out of Hebbel's bar. We've also added some additional 'promoted' enemy variants that only come out at prestige one or higher. Also, Rook's parasite mechanic has gone through a bit of an overhaul. He gets infected a bit later, the cards upgrade a bit faster, and always get more powerful until they reach a useful end-stage form.

Our next major update will be on July 16th. If you'd like to follow along as we develop the content for that, check out the experimental build! New stuff will start showing up there early next week (like this little guy!)



Finally, this release also adds a lot of balance tweaks, bug fixes, and general quality of life improvements. You can read the full patch notes over on the Klei forums.

Thank you all for your wonderful feedback the past couple of days. We've been reading them as they come in, and it's great to see so many people enjoying the game!

Our next scheduled update is on June 25th, and you can preview some of those changes already in the experimental build, if you're curious.

Note, we don't normally post experimental updates on Steam, but since many of you are brand new to Griftlands, we wanted to make sure you saw that this is available. Griftlands updates quite often on experimental, so if you want to keep up with the latest, head over to our official forums at: https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/forum/148-griftlands-early-access-general-discussion/

Hey Grifters,

It's been a busy day around here! We've been firefighting various issues found by new players, especially stuff with localization. One new promoted unit made their way into the game, though, so this update is not without new content.
