Thank you for sending me bug reports and save files. A lot of these issues were missed before launch, and I apologize for any lost progress you might have gotten. Luckily with the bug reports and save files, we were able to reproduce many of the issues and verify a safe fix. Thank you for your patience as I deal with the tiny demons running this game.

I’m continuing work on some more secretive things, some of which you’ve asked for, and some of which will be an unasked Gift from the Devil. Talk soon.
