removedWhy Did this Take So Long?I forgot how many things in the game work due to rushed variable names and no comments.\ So saving no longer works. I destroyed it (it may still somewhat work sometimes)

changedWhy Did this Take So Long?Most of you who have played this game before will now see a "Saving Failures" button in the main menu. This button will show data in the save file that wasn't loaded. Basically old Saveables that no longer exists in-game (removed feature, etc)

addedA whole re-write of all the games scripts.This isn't easy, but with the new game mechanic you all voted on its best if i just re do the programming in the game. It allows me to fix all the bugs and make everything actually readable.

changedA whole re-write of all the games scripts.No other changes then a complete re-programming of all the scripts. Ill keep you all updated with how this goes in the discord server (https://discord.gg/kqqHPPm2ZY) & here.

Why Did this Take So Long?

Let me explain why this took so long, Saving.

Thats why.

The game has something internally called Saveables. I created Saveables. Basically they are an easy way to write data to the save file. Unfortunately for me I dont know how it works anymore, and i have no clue what does what Because my genius thought it would be fun to not describe anything within the Core. Which is where Saveables are programmed. The core is a 4000+ line script that is essentially the core of the game.

Whats Next Then?

A whole re-write of all the games scripts.

Hope you enjoy the update, sorry it took so long.
