changedhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1902940/Snacktorio/ (It's a level-based factory sim about mass producing food to feed monsters! If you like modded MC and parts of APICO's automation, you might enjoy trying the demo!!)
changedSome good news as well is that GameMaker have finally updated their major LTS version! From 2022 to 2026!! (not a typo, yes it's been 4 years!!!!!!!), which means that it should improve performance generally and fix a few legacy bugs, as well as finally fixing the Xbox bugs that have prevented 4.0 coming to Xbox! The bad news is it'll probably break so much that it's going to take a while just to clean everything up first, fun times for me (e.g. the mod extension will be broken, the steamworks api will be broken, etc etc :D)

Now that it's game's out and the launch bugs are settling down, it's time for me to go and do some patches for all my other games. I've always aimed to do at least 1 maintenance patch each year for each game just to blow off the cobwebs and stop the cogs rusting - was just a bit of bad timing with Snacktorio this year that I didn't have time to get anything finished up earlier for APICO (last patch was June 2025!), so apologies for that!

After this month ends and Snacktorio is settled I'll be coming back to Mudborne first (as there's less to do!) and then APICO for some bug fixes. I've got a few reports in the form to catch-up with, as well as here on the forums - but if you've encountered something recently and haven't let me know yet, now is the time to /gimme bugs!!

I'll be going through everything here on Steam and in the form (https://tngineers.com/url/apico-bugs) around July/August time, so be sure to report anything in case I've missed it, I might even be able to squeeze a couple small QoL stuff if there's anything quick I can sneak in :)

So yeah, nothing exciting (unless you're on Xbox!), but if you have anything to report in the meantime please do get them in, and I'll be back later in the year with some fixes for you all!

Thanks again for all of you for playing, from the seasoned beekeepers of over 5 years ago, or the fresh-faced unstung keepers of this year! I appreciate you all <3
