changedfor the spoopy season we bring you the most scary stuff we gamedevs had experienced ever: THE UNITY RUNTIME FEE BANKRUPT UPDATE!
changedUPDATE: This Update was delayed, because we couldn't make a new sale, because our game was "too cheap", because we never updated our prices and they went below thresholds on all of our games.
addedUnity wanted to introduce a completely insane runtime fee for every installation of a game ever made with Unity, which would had bankrupt many studios. To honor this very "interesting" decision, we added a new achievement: BANKRUPT . Install our game 5 times and you would had cost us more money that we would had made on a sale *
changedA lot of people put videos together about what happened, here is a playlist with Callum Upton and Lost Relic Games who summed it up pretty well. PLAYLIST
addedWe also added a rudimentary Steam Deck support for the main menu (dev console is still a work in progress), better firehorse error message and the reviews of Miky11 review and blueskies9968 . Also added "date" command to the terminal to show what the date is that the PBS receives from the operating system (which for some people seems to be not what they expect under certain circumstances ^^")

  • WAY before that, because of all the fees, but we are going for gross revenue here ^^"
