Thank you to everyone who decided to try out the game today during the DAILY DEAL!!!! I appreciate the patience as I work through some bugs that you all have uncovered.

v19.1
Bugfixes:
- Fixed bugs with tutorial
- Moved the 'accept contract' button so that it is no longer hidden by the tutorial.

Kin and Quarry now has an official launch date, aiming for January 16th, 2026.

I wanted to get it out earlier, but a mix of life events and Winter Sale (you should never launch during a seasonal sale) means this is the current best date to get the game out to you all.

Thanks!

**Release Date:** November 14, 2025

**TL;DR**

- Brand-new save slot system.
- New game, continue, and loadout flows now protect progress and streamline party management.
- Updated splash branding, fonts, and localization coverage alongside key bug fixes and tests.

## What's New

### New Save Slot System

- Introduced a brand-new manual save slot system on the title screen, letting you create, browse, and load multiple saves alongside the current auto-save.
- Added a fully localized `Save Slots` menu with dedicated save/load dialogs, allowing you to browse every manual slot and the current auto-save in one place.
- Each save entry now shows party composition, dungeon theme, score, completed rooms, and timestamp so you always know exactly where a run left off.
- The title screen now spawns a live preview of your last party.

### Smarter New Game & Continue Flow

- `New Game` detects when the current run has not been moved into a slot and prompts you to convert the auto-save before wiping progress, preventing accidental loss.
- New `Save Slots` access on the title screen respects license restrictions but remains available whenever manual saves exist.
- Save deletion and overwrite prompts now use reusable confirmation dialogs across all supported languages.

### Loadout Character Management

- The Loadout UI lets you either load existing heroes from your auto-save or generate a fresh roster, making it faster to jump back into a run or try a new party.
- Added class availability icons and improved slot handling so you can see which archetypes are already in use while recruiting.

### Presentation & Localization

- Updated the TKFY splash screen to the latest branding and removed the default Unity splash for a cleaner startup.
- Expanded SDF font atlases and localization strings for the new save/load experience across English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese.

## Quality of Life Improvements

- Serialization now tracks save metadata and exposes APIs to copy auto-saves into slots, delete individual saves, and query slot availability.
- Title party preview pillars display localized character names and classes, improving readability in every language.
- Additional UI polish ensures buttons disable correctly in convention/demo modes while still surfacing available saves.

## Bug Fixes

- Fixed the Displace Enemy spell so it now behaves as expected during combat.
- Teleport afflictions reliably return both players and enemies to their starting tiles, backed by new regression tests.
- Addressed several edge cases during save loading that previously left orphaned party previews or stale UI state.

## Testing & Stability

- Added comprehensive serialization unit tests covering slot metadata, auto-save copy flows, and restore operations.
- Expanded playmode coverage for teleport mechanics to guard against future regressions.

This is a major update for the demo, with several improvements for immersion and quality-of-life.

• When clicking the exit to Menu button, the game will now ask you to confirm with “Are You Sure?”

• If you anger Saya enough, she will now shoot you to death, and you will have to restart from the last checkpoint.

• Shaders are now preloaded at the beginning of the demo, so there are no more stutters when new objects appear.

• Completely remade the bedroom view — it’s now much more detailed and full of life, from tailored shopfronts to animated NPCs.

• Updated the rooftop street view so that it now includes shopfronts for added immersion.

• Retextured numerous assets to better fit the stylized vision of the game.

• Refined the sliding physics — you can now slide almost every item across the counter.

• Added boob wind physics — if you slide items near a bosom, it will jiggle according to the force.

• Fixed remote-grabbing bottle caps; they now snap to the correct position.

• Added a cat fedora and ray-bans so you can get a taste of decorating the cat.

• Added in Press Any Button screen for vibes.

• Added in Shaolin beer in bedroom so you can chuck beer out.

• Cigarette lighter and pack now respawn if you throw it out onto the streets (unless you throw it on top of an alien collider)

• You can now open and close the bedroom closet.

For Chinese players: Next week, I will be at WePlay Shanghai, China to show off PROJECT MIX — see you there if you’re going!

Besides these demo updates, lot's of cool things are being worked on the full game, so please look forward to that!

A lot of small bug fixes have been rolled out this past, this patch represents all of them.

Adjusted collision behavior to remove the small player bias.

"Random Block" training option now works as intended.

Changed Lumber Combo Trial 5 to make it possible after the October Update.

Mike's Lipstick Toss input is read properly on P2 side.

Sho's idle stamina regen has been fixed, making his trait function as intended.

Sho's Raging Demon now has a screen freeze effect and does 5000 damage instead of 6000.

Sho's Raging Demon puts him in Enraged state for the rest of the game. Removes his trait and his ability to Raging Demon.

"Block After" training option will now properly block one frame gaps.

Sho's Focus Step > K followup hitbox has been lowered and brought back a small amount.

A few moves in Trial mode had their Input Names adjusted to be the correct input.

Spending the last of your stamina while getting up will no longer trigger the round end count down.

Thanks to "chef" for finding most of these! Also thanks to the Discord for their suggestions!

I think that's it. Enjoy!
