Hey guys for now I have disabled steam cloud as I think it might be the cause of some of the wipes. Hopefully it will at least reduce in frequency till the new update with gear.

Still hard at work on that! You can try it out in the unstable branch and if you have a wiped save backed up you can rename it to SdX.es3 where x is the number between 0-3 with 0 being slot 1, 1 being slot 2, and 2 being slot 3. Otherwise it should migrate your save automatically if you have an existing one.

Would love to have more feedback on the balance of gear which is way out of whack right now and would love additional help testing htings and ideas!

it's coming along really nicely and theres a few more things I need to do before it can be released! For example I need to rework the skills and stats screens to work with the new tab layout. And I need to create a system to sell resources for gold and upgrade your tools!

I hope it wont be much more than another week but I cannot promise a date yet. Thanks for playing! Hope to see you on discord soon.

We’re still hard at work on the upcoming Quality of Life update – focusing on new animations, performance improvements, and some much-needed code cleanup.
However, due to a small private matter, there will be no Beta update this week.

Don’t worry – the full weekly update will still arrive on Sunday as planned.
Thanks for your patience and for playing Idle Life! ❤️
