  • When pausing the game all of the villagers paths will now be shown. Allowing the player to easily move them away from any danger.

  • Fixed some minor bugs.

Important note:

Due to the changes on how files are saved in update 0.25 older save files will no longer be compatible and must be deleted. Update 0.25 increases the size of the previous world map of only 9 regions to 3600 regions with support for larger world maps. Changing the way the game is saved has also helped to decrease loading times, and will help us to add more features that we couldn't have with a smaller world map in future updates.

This will be the only time that save files will become incompatible. So don't worry about any progress being lost in future updates. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope the new features will make up for this.
