PATCH NOTES 0.0.6

Welcome to our sixth patch notes post! Our goal is to effectively relay the updated information to the community. As we are currently in the pre-alpha development stage.

The majority of you will not have access to the present built, but, we are collaborating with a select group of streamers and playtesters who are helping us to stress test on a semi-regular basis.

These patch notes serve two purposes. Firstly, as an archival element, to easily go back and see which issues were addressed, and when. Secondly, to show the community that we are busy working on Cold Comfort, trying to make it a great experience for you.

Oh wait, there’s a third point, as this is new territory for us, especially in this early stage of development, your opinion regarding the format and information on how these updates are conveyed is important. As always, feel free to hop onto our discord community channel and let us know what you think!

Interested in participating in our next stress test? Fill out the appropriate form in triplicate, making sure to include your blood type and Gamma Strain vaccination status. OR simply reach out to one of the community managers on our discord.

Our full update notes are below.

WHERE THE HECK ARE PATCH NOTES 0.0.5?

Yeah, we flubbed that one- please accept our humble apology. Yeah, but no, seriously, we pushed a new build right before a live stream and the fixes were minor. Essentially we had a game-breaking crash hotfix, and need a different version number to ascertain that everyone was on the same build. There, we told ya. Happy now?
