April's Petting Progress

Hey everyone! Spring is here near the office, and development is squirreling along for the big update. Most of the game's current progression system has been removed to make way for a new scanning tool and pet markets.

Justifying those changes is some new story work and worldbuilding being added. While I'm happy with the basic gameplay, there's some plot which needs to be developed before we launch from early access.

Also, I finally have a Steam Deck here! I discovered last night that it will automatically download an old broken linux version of Industrial Petting from three years ago, but I'll try to have that fixed soon. Controller support is already in the game, so all that's needed are performance and support fixes.
