The Christmas Update!

HO-HO-Howdy Partners!

Sorry to keep you waiting. We went quiet for a bit while figuring out what went wrong with the last patch and reworking parts of the code. Our first instinct was to hotfix and push ASAP, but since we already had a holiday patch planned, we decided to merge both into one bigger update! That’s why it took a little longer.

Some of you have already been playing the updated build on the unstable branch. We use it as test ground for players who don’t mind a higher bug density and want to help us test new features early. That branch is here to stay, and we’ll post a proper how-to when we update it. For now, everything rolls into the default branch.

I also want to apologize to anyone who felt like we disappeared or stopped responding in the forums. After the release, we were honestly a bit overwhelmed by the sudden workload. Community communication on Discord and Steam, fixing and testing builds, and setting up a proper update structure all hit us at once.

To be absolutely clear: we are not quitting the game. 😉

Today we agreed on the scope of upcoming updates with our publisher, RockGame, and we’ll be sharing a roadmap in the coming weeks! Yes, sprinklers are coming. Early February.

We’ll do our best to stay in closer contact with you, including here on the Steam forums. Thank you for your patience. This is our first game, we’re learning as we go, and yeah, we’ll make mistakes. Hopefully fewer with each update.

Alright, enough with the gloom. We’ve got a Christmas update for you! 🎄🤠

Have a chill holiday!
