Very small bug fix here.

Looks like I broke Achievements for the new Windows 64-Bit build. That should be fixed now! Also I added a new failsafe if Achievements ever break again, the game will now try to give you all the Achievements you should have every time you boot the game.

Please let me know if anything else is broken, thanks!

• Improved the visuals for the rain particles
  
• All UI button color schemes are more intuitive as to what's selected and what isn't

• Changed how the tutorial works for the NPC - if you load in it will be ignored entirely, and on new games the tutorial will start automatically right away.
  
• sometimes...the NPC could get stuck on things aroung the world when moving to his next activity, this will no longer happen
  
• Fixed a visual bug where sometimes the target marker wouldn't disappear during dialogue.
  
• fixed a SUPER annoying bug where the 'collect all' button on the bug jars wouldn't always work properly.
  
• Fixed a bug where hold down the interact button at the evolution machine would evolve things at 2x the intended speed.
  
• Some typo fixes and item description adjustments
  
• Fixed a visual bug where the mulch box wouldn't look filled when you loaded in, even if it was full.

Previously, typing in chat could accidentally trigger custom actions like Skip Vote or Hide if you typed keys like E or F. This is now fixed—custom actions won’t trigger while chat is active.

Hi everyone! Today I am excited to announce the launch of the TurnBreak Kickstarter!



For those that love Pokemon/Monster Collecting games mixed with Roguelite elements and Card battling then TurnBreak may be something to look forward to.



Discover and capture Beasts of all kinds and use them to battle opponents in a procedurally generated world! Element is king in TurnBreak. Win a Best of 2 out 3 per round and deal direct damage to your opponent to defeat them.

Do you have what it takes to become a champion of the TurnBreaker League?



If TurnBreak isn't something you are interested in, sharing it with friends that you know like this type of game would be incredibly helpful. The success of TurnBreak pours into BioGun as well as I continue to seek someone who can help port the game and cover the costs.

Thank you all for your constant support. It means the world to me.

Much love,
John

• While burning, you wouldn't trigger stage 2 fire after a while.
  
• Fixed an old memory problem related to cached items textures.
  
• The game will more aggressively cache textures to save additional memory.

With these changes, most if not all crashes regarding memory should be fixed by now!

Ahoy, Blitzers!✨
