In this Patch:
- Fixed Hand appearing during Guillotine scene.
- Fixed hands appearing on Stills.

It’s not just a minor relief, but a real weight lifted off our shoulders. It caused many sleepless (and nightmare-filled) nights, but we are pleased to announce that we have fixed the hit registration loss bug that occurred around Day 15 - you should not encounter it anymore.

For the full change log, please refer to the patch-notes channel on our Discord channel:

It's been a very busy week here. As I mentioned two weeks ago, I took a mini-holiday last week, which was nice. The day after I got back I posted the announcement of the 1.0 graduation date (Sept 2) and have been hard at work ever since.

First of all, there's a new opt-in on the Beta branch. It's not a huge update, but it did have some changes necessary for graduation. Full list of changes here:

• Two new mini late-game exploration void regions
  
• Minor adjustments, additional hints to guide players in a few stuck points
  
• Adjust discovery sound volume
  
• Patch for the prevented completion of Tomb of Ock Juk if Ermyr ally in late game
  
• Fix for missing localization strings on one mission
  
• Fix for negative fighter count
  
• Fix for NaN on specific projectile
  
• Fix for rare mission bug in Forbidden Planet
  
• Suppress non-critical exceptions appearing in console, added instructions for closing console via F11
  
• Gamepad specific help notifications
  
• Refactor analytics to collected detailed only on opt-in branch
  
• Removed Early Access pop-up, FPS indicator
  
• Update game icon
  
• Several typos

If I don't get any reports of serious issues from unstable branch players, expect this branch to be promoted to default in the next few days.

Besides this build, there's a lot of work that isn't directly related to development, including:

• Updating the Logo versions and Steam store assets (and then updating them again a few days later when Steam increased the default resolutions)
  
• Updated Trailer
  
• Reaching out to streamers for possible coverage
  
• Misc PR stuff
  
• Preparing the game for release on GOG

Thanks for reading, until next week!

We've now released a short demo of our short game, so you can get a short idea of the amazing art and voice acting in a short period of time.

The demo introduces (nearly) all the characters, but without most of the major puzzles, and multiple endings. Still, there are different paths and outcomes to explore, and jokes and grappling hooks galore!

Please let us know how you get on, what you love and what you dis-love, and we will love you the more for it...

Still hoping to have the full game ready for testing at the end of September, but why wait? Have a chuckle today!

• More cutscene sounds
  
• The Yoobow now aims in the direction of the camera
  
• Picking up enemy drops now displays an indicator on the right-hand side of the screen
  
• More attempts at fixing disappearing Carter problems

Be helpful and not naughty.
