Patch Notes

Jump to navigation Jump to search

These are all the patch notes for the released game!

Updates are usually released on Steam first, as it's a quicker route to deploy the builds and double check everything is okay (and add hot fixes in if needed), with other platforms shortly after. Consoles will be significantly behind the latest version due to the reliance on Whitethorn Games publishing the updates for us.

Hey Beekeepers!

Quick update to fix a crash a few of you have been getting with the picker! Also did a tweak that might help performance, or it might not so let’s roll the dice - let me know if you get any weirdness!

General Changes
  • You can now right-click with a Hive Tool to add empty frames to a hive (X/Square on gamepad) - you can still use left-click to gather frames/honeycomb

4.0.0

Hey Beekeepers!

The time has come for the final farewell, and with it the final of the three free content updates - A Hive Of Industry!

This update introduces a new process for honeycore crystals that allow you to melt them down and reform them into new crystals, which can be used to craft a whole host of new automation machines that'll do a lot of your beesywork for you - to get started check out the new quests in the book, you'll notice a few new ones added just to help new players with the newer content that's been added over the years!

Some ideas for you to try with your new arsenal:
- gather honeycombs and move to crates (or shipper to sell) using hoppers
- auto quick-queen to put offspring back into the same hive using hoppers
- auto-gather all seeds clogging up a centrifuge using hoppers
- move empty+filled frames between a hive and auto-centrifuge using hoppers
- move honey+water to a fermenter and then apicola to bottler using ploppers
- sell bottler output automatically using hoppers and shippers
- move water from raintanks/desalinator to barrels using ploppers
- auto harvest logs + replant trees using loggers
- make a steady supply of sawdust bricks using loggers, shredders, and hoppers
- supply smokers with flowers automatically using pickers and hoppers
- grow any nearby saplings/acorns faster using sprinklers
- gather resin from multiple treetaps and move to an infuser using ploppers


There's also a whole host of new things: pets, decoration, new tools, more bees, more butts, seasonal events, new music, more quests, a MP server you can host yourself, a new area through the door...

There's also lots of things that have been on the backlog or have been requested by you all, I've tried my best to keep a good balance between what I've always wanted the game to bee and what all you bees what to see - check out the patch notes below for more! Hopefully there's a lot of "oh nice!" moments. I'll still be doing bug fixes of course, but for new stuff this is finally goodbye! <3

Speaking of bugs, there's bound to be some introduced in this update - I've spent a lot of time testing everything but there is only one of me, so if you find something please report it and I'll get fixing!

Outside of that, I just want to say thank you to everyone who's beeen on this journey, whether it's been from the buggy days of the old HTML build, or just recently popped by because of a sweet sale, I'm extremely grateful to you all. APICO was the first game I ever made and I never really expected anything to happen from it, let alone have it start a full-time gamedev chapter in my life. I've learnt a lot of lessons and made a lot of mistakes but I'm very proud of my messy lil bee game, worts and all.

If you can't bear to say farewell to APICO bee sure to keep an eye on Mudborne, as it'll be a spiritual sequel of sorts with some of the stuff you love from APICO - lots of stuff in the works I've yet to really reveal and a new demo later this year, so keep an eye out for that!

Otherwise, so long, and thanks for all the bees! :') <3

  • There's only 2 new achievements, I still wanted to make sure new players got rewarded for some of the new content, but consious of the completionists!

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Well here we are gang, the 3.0 update, aka “What Lies Beneath”, is finally here!

    It’s been a long time planned and lot’s of things got in the way but here it is! As I’ve mentioned before, while the 1.0 is a finished game in it’s own right there was lots of things I still wanted to do with APICO. One of them was focus on the “empty” ocean areas, as well as play with the idea of “underwater” bees! “What Lies Beeneath” is the second of the three (free) content updates, and covers a whole host of stuff including:
    - New NPCs! Skipper’s Dad, who loves to fish, and Director Bumblemore himself from MPCO arrive!
    - Fishing! Make your own fishing flies and fish for 15 different species across the islands!
    - Coral Reefs! New coral reef areas with their own bees and butterflies that need to be restored!
    - Coral Restoration! Restore the coral through the power of bees and get some awesome rewards from Bumblemore!
    - Deep-sea Diving! Head down to the sea-floor to discover a whole host of underwater friends
    - Ocean Clean-up! Help Bumblemore clear the seabeds, and discover some forgotten areas in the process…
    - Butterfly Upgrades! New butterfly related machines so you can hoard to your hearts content!
    - More Friends! 11 new social bees, 5 new solitary bees, 10 new butterflies, 15 fish to
    - QoL Stuff! Quick store, trash slot, a tool that lets you gather honeycomb/frames without opening menus???
    - More Music! The wonderful SEA-sides by Mothense have been added <3
    - More decoration! Lots more decoration items, tiles, walls and more!
    - More achievements! 15 more achievements to ruin your 100% achievement score!
    - Even more freakin’ bugs because there’s just one developer!!! (me) :D

    That’s just the high-level stuff, strap in for the changelog below as there’s a LOT to cover…
    I can’t wait for you to all experience the new content and I hope you enjoy playing as much as I did making it <3

    Moon

    Thanks again to everyone who’s been reporting bugs as well as giving us all the lovely feedback on the butterfly update, it’s so wonderful to hear how much you’ve all been enjoying the new content!

    Things will be winding down now a bit for Christmas, I’ve got some optimisation stuff to do for the Switch builds, and our other game Feed The Beasts is feeling a bit left out, so there won’t be any new patches aside from breaking stuff for a while now!

    2.1.0

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Well here we are 2 weeks in from the butterfly update, and things are mostly stable (as stable as a game about bugs can be anyway!)
    As things calmed down I had a chance to start working on the Modding API, and so this update adds in a whole host of new modding methods that you can use to interact with the new content - hopefully we can all look forward to seeing some new mods that bring us all new butterflies, solitary bees, and incense!

    There’s also a few different fixes and some minor stuff I was putting off until there was literally nothing left on my TODO list, plus a couple tweaks.

    As a side-note, not sure what’s happened but recently there’s been a large influx of reviews and they’ve been so wonderful to read - thanks so much to everyone who’s been taking to time to write such lovely things about bee game! It really does mean a lot. <3

    Hot Fixes
    • HF1: Fixed modded npcs crashing when loaded/spoken to
    Changes
    • Reduced general net durability (when buying new nets)
    • You can now pick up lilypads regardless of whether you have tools equipped (like flowers can be)
    • If you didn't get a magazine for Lunar Bee when conserving it, one should now spawn when you load the world (maybe)
    Bug Fixes
    • Fixed butterflies in butterfly hotels visiting all flowers, rather than the ones they like (also led to weird cross-mutation)
    • Fixed butterflies in butterfly hotels visually not visiting the flower accurately
    • Fixed butterflies in butterfly hotels not matching the range shown by the hotel
    • Fixed achievement for getting all bee-sides not unlocking
    • Fixed Dreamshards selling for honeycore instead of rubees

    • Fixed incense7 (yellow-green) not having a name
    • Fixed /gimme butterfly crashing when not specifying a species

    • Fixed new flowers not showing their effect name in the tooltip
    • Fixed Beenjamin having the jurassic prompt before you find the species if you found enough bees

    • Added two methods that use "zoids", unique ids that are used to identify objects across games in multiplayer. By using zoids you can avoid the issue of instance ids changing every session and store links to zoids to get the correct instances back on reboot.
    • Added api_get_zoid_from_inst(), which returns a unique id value (zoid) for the given instance id
    • Added api_get_inst_from_zoid(), which returns the instance id for a given zoid, both these methods allow you to store
    • Added api_define_solitary(), which lets you define your own solitary bee for people to discover in bee hotels
    • Added api_define_butterfly(), which lets you define your own butterflies for people to catch
    • Added api_describe_butterflies(), which will get the metadata for all butterflies
    • Added api_define_incense(), which lets you setup a new incense and alchemy recipe (you need to implement the effect yourself though!)
    • Added api_has_incense(), which will check if a specific scent is affecting a given position
    • Added api_create_butterfly(), which lets you manually spawn a butterfly inst onto an object (flower, generic obj, menu_obj...)
    • Added api_get_progress() method that returns the players current progress (i.e. bees found, butterflies repopulated etc)
    • Added api_define_npc2() method that takes into account new menu sprite changes and new dialogue changes for NPCs - you can still use api_define_npc() but you should upgrade when you can!
    • Added api_define_menu_object2() method that takes into account the menu sprite changes (you now only need 2 frames and dont need to add the tab title) - same as above RE the old method
    • Added api_game_state() method that returns various game state bools (paused, game loading, world loading etc)
    • Added basic _field values to the destroy hook when a menu object is destroyed (limited to basic datatypes)

    2.0.0

    It’s been a while and we’ve been working very hard on lot’s of new things for you all to enjoy, and I hope you do!
    As I’ve mentioned before, although the 1.0 is a finished game in it’s own right there was lots of things I still wanted to do with APICO and lots of other things I wanted to add.

    This 2.0 update is the first of three planned content updates (Terraria / MC style), and covers lots of new things including:
    - New NPCs! Meet new friends Codey & Sto, research partners from the Mainland (!)
    - Butterflies! Beeautiful flapping friends to find and discover
    - Solitary Bees! Bees that don’t work in hives but live alone??
    - New Flowers! More fancy flowers, each with their own new effects on the environment!
    - More books! We know you love reading, otherwise why are you playing APICO? <3
    - Improved Dialogue System! Now you won’t miss all the wonderful writing Jamie has done, plus some new dialogue!
    - Incense! Finally you can make candles, plus your own incense through the magic of Alchemy!
    - More Music! The wonderful bee-sides by Mothense have been added <3
    - More decoration! Lots more decoration items, tiles, walls and more!
    - More achievements! 16 more delicious achievements to get hold of!
    - Loads more freakin’ bugs I am sure because I am just one person!!! :D

    There’s more than that too but that’s what the changelog below is for, and buckle up cos it’s a doozy!
    We both can’t wait for you to all experience the new content and to see what you all make of it <3

    (N.B. You do NOT need to make a new world to experience all the new content! The new NPCs will be added to existing worlds automagically!)
    (N.B.B. YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A NEW WORLD TO EXPERIENCE THE NEW CONTENT - you know people will still ask me this 100 times lmao)

    Hot Fixes

    1.4.0

    Hey Beekeepers!

    So we’re coming up on nearly a month since the game has been released!
    We’d had thousands of people playing APICO and all round it’s been a wild time - thanks so much for everyone that’s been playing and leaving us the most wonderful reviews <3

    In the last 4-6 weeks I think I’ve maybe had 3 whole days where I haven’t been in GameMaker for some reason and now that things are mostly stable it’s definitely time to take a break. I was already burning out from console porting earlier this year so the last month or so hasn’t helped!
    This will be the last update for a while now barring any urgent bug fixes / crashes - there’s a few changes, a bunch of stuff to keep the mod creators quiet (for a few days at least), and also I updated GameMaker’s Steamworks Extension!

    They have promised me that this update will fix the issues some people were having with some MacOS users crashing, and some users just not able to unlock achievements - but I won’t get my hopes up.
    At the very least let’s hope it still works normally even if it doesn’t fix those issues! If you do still have issues with Steam please let me know ASAP.

    Once I finally have a proper break I’ll be starting on the first proper content update for APICO, “I Can't Beelieve It's Not Butter(flies)”. This will bring in butterflies, solitary bees that don’t work in hives, and all sorts of pollination/flower madness. If you want to read more about the content updates you can check the roadmap here:
    https://ko-fi.com/post/APICO-Roadmap-S6S0ADGAZ

    Changes
    • Visually show the "Respawn in 5s" countdown when holding R / L+R
    • You now need to equip mead before being able to drink it - meaning you can now right-click to split a stack of infused mead
    • Notice bubbles are now hidden while in Photo Mode
    • Mods are now listed alphabetically and show the total number of downloads globally
    • Mods now each have a banner in the description when clicked on
    • Highlighting tabs/recipes on gamepad now automatically selects them
    • On gamepad when holding triggers and highlighting a beehive you can now see the range radius
    • On gamepad you can now hold the dpad on slot and book chapter selection
    • Hammering a crate / menu object will now drop that as an item first before the contents of the menu
    • Added the Mod Workbench, which will store all crafting recipes for all installed mods, per mod
    Crash Fixes
    • Fixed "Cannot delete buffer, it's in use by 1 others at gml_Object_co_mods_Other_72" with mods that use api_get_data()
    Bug Fixes
    • Fixed boats being deleted in multiplayer when clicked rapidly
    • Fixed bottler liquid type not reset when draining the tank
    • Fixed the "instance queen end" glitch with slot clicking/dragging
    • Fixed bottler giving 2 bottles per 50ml in multiplayer
    • Fixed closing noticeboard quests on gamepad meaning you had to close the whole menu before being able to select a quest button
    • Fixed uncapping bench / uncapper having incorrect help labels
    • Fixed Swarmwort seeds not saying they should be placed on water
    • Fixed Beenjamin asking for a "behaviour behaviour" (what a rascal)
    • Fixed Raintank menu highlight sprite not having the right outline
    • Fixed not being able to drink Apicola on gamepad (you poor thirsty bees)
    • Fixed ";" not being usable for a mapped key
    • Fixed menus staying open when Save+Quitting, which could sometimes cause issues with the home screen buttons
    Modding
    • Added the Mod Workbench, which will store all crafting recipes for all installed mods. Recipes define with api_define_recipe() will be put here instead of the vanilla workbench - you can use this as your hub crafting station as there is section for each mod. This means you can define 100 recipes for your mod (5 tabs, 20 recipes per tab)
    • Added api_define_workbench(), which lets you set your mod's name and tab names in the Mod Workbench
    • Added a description "banner" to in-game mod descriptions (you'll need to add this to your mod file if submitting, see the mod loader for info)
    • Added a few missing item sprites for larger scenery items
    • Added api_define_item_stats() which lets you define a "default" set of stats to apply to a given item when it's created (i.e. having a canister start with 9001 max)
    • api_define_gui() has now been modified to correctly cache sprites rather than register a new one for every machine - this means you will need to ensure your gui_key's are unique per menu object define (i.e. you can't use "progress_bar" for 2 different defines if they're different progress bar sprites)
    • Added "has_lighting" to the flower_definition in api_define_flower()

    1.3.2

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Just a couple quick fixes on MP games, and a tweak for modders!

    Bug Fixes
    • Fixed "new" hives found or placed by clients not activating until the host walked nearby
    • Fixed clients not visibly seeing the progress bar of a host started machine even tho input+output of the machine was fine
    • Fixed being able to use pickaxes on trees and have them be just as effective (lol)
    Modding
    • Mod console is now toggled through "CTRL"+"." instead if just "."
    • Mod logs are now added to the "mod-logs.txt" file in real-time so you can view logs outside of the mod console in-game

    1.3.1

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Just a few little bits in this one, some tiny QoL tweaks (including a pencil that lets you relabel things!), some balancing and a couple fixes for multiplayer.

    There’s also a bunch of new stuff and some API fixes for modding! There’s been some really cool mods in progress, including an APICO version of Minecraft’s NEI, so hoping these new modding help encourage more people to get stuck in!

    Changes
    • You can now craft a Pencil (on PC) that lets you relabel menu objects! i.e. you could relabel your trash can to say "Wasp Storage" >:)
    • Smokers now have their own icon bubble, that also matches the one shown by Empress bees
    • Targeted menus now have the extra label highlight like when you drag them
    • Beeboxes/Beebanks no longer show traits until you've microscoped the species
    • Standard honeycore crystals now sell for $2 rather than $3, and Crystal Bee honeycore shards sell for $5 instead of $1 - there's a bigger piece around honeycore processing planned!
    • The good news is Barnabee is looking to buy a house of his own! The bad news is the deposit was huge and they have to put their prices up soz
    • Rocky Bees now spawn in a hive when mined, and there's now a 50% chance of a hive vs 100% always getting a bee (after your first hive)
    • Sorting menus now orders bees by their bee book order - same for magazines
    Bug Fixes
    • Fixed machines giving duplicate items when the progress bar finished in multiplayer when host should have "won" (sawmill, beehive, centrifuge etc)
    • Fixed being able to pause while in multiplayer as pausing your time meant time desynced
    • Fixed newly placed items not being interactable until the player moves (in multiplayer + while modding)
    • Fixed right-clicking to split stacks and dropping items on an existing stack not syncing in multiplayer
    • Fixed being able to get infinite cargo boats in multiplayer, putting Skipper out of business (and making him sad)
    • Fixed game crashing on gamepad when highlighting a non-menu object and pressing Y / Triangle
    • Fixed The Merchant not showing their post-credits dialogue (im so sorry over how not worth it this is now you can finally read it lmao)
    • Fixed Sacred Idol showing as the wrong sprite in the Altar overworld sprite
    • Fixed Beehive Lamps not having an item sprite in your inventory
    • Fixed acorns planted in hallows not showing as the correct sapling sprite (at least SOMEONE has been replanting)
    • Fixed NPCs not remembering that they already told you something and eagerly telling you again next time you booted up the game
    • Fixed Beebank tabs not showing the species name on hover
    • Fixed being able to hammer beds/benches while in them (why did you even try this)
    • Fixed music layering when sleeping through several nights
    • Fixed birbs not flapping when flying away (high quality stuff gang)
    • Fixed species with "Any" climate not showing in the beebook or stat cards
    Modding
    • Added a new set of methods, api_describe_*, which get various game metadata (both base game and modded)
    • Added a new set of methods, api_all_*, which gets all instance IDs in the map of trees/flowers/objs/menu objects (super dangerous, don’t make me regret it :D)
    • Added api_refresh_tooltip() to refresh to tooltip cache (i.e. when updating tanks / gui)
    • Added api_get_language() to return the players chosen language (i.e. "en", "jp", etc)
    • Added a new destroy() hook, called when objects/trees/flowers/machines are destroyed
    • Added a new scroll() hook, called when the mouse wheel is scrolled up/down
    • Added "hp" as a new property to obj_definition's so you can make objs with "health" (like trees, shrubs, rocks etc)
    • Added a "claim_script" parameter to api_define_quest(), called when the quest is claimed
    • Changed ready() to call when the player is directly in the game (after intro cutscene)
    • Changed worldgen() to call both before all objects are created (post-tiles) and after all objects are created
    • Fixed api_get_definition() returning some properties as ds_ GM ids rather than values

    • Fixed api_define_flower_recipe() not working
    • Fixed api_blacklist_oid() not affected player movement keys
    • Fixed api_define_bee_recipe() not returning the menu object inst. in the mutation script
    • Fixed "durability" on obj_definition showing as "health" in tooltips

    1.3.0

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Think we are starting to iron out most the major bugs now! Nothing like having 1000s of people play your game to find the most niche little issues eh? :’)

    I’ve also added a few different QoL stuff in this update, notably a new item (Queen Cells) that acts as an automatic “Quick Queen” button, a way to get new grass tiles with Abbee’s Compost Bin, the ability to “pin” menus, as well as a way to dye backpacks in the new Dye Station!
    I think Queen Cells is p. useful but let me know what you all think! (too expensive, not expensive enough etc)

    Then there’s also a bunch of bug fixes including preventing the corrupted pink bee being able to be made in MP which then caused a bunch of issues, as well as the cargo boat just not following you after reloading the game.
    Of all the things in the game I think the Cargo Boat was probably the last thing I expected to give me so much grief lol

    There’s also a bunch of various modding related changes in this one (for mod creators - docs will be updated very shortly with some of the new stuff not yet put there!)
    Please enjoy! I’m going to go to sleep now lmao

    Changes
    • Added a new craftable item, Queen Cells! These can be put in the middle of beehives/apiaries to trigger an automatic quick queen when the queen lifecycle ends. Give it a whirl and see what ya think!
    • Upgraded the microscope to show the HD species image, the dom+res species letters (like in beeboxes), and show grumpiness/beeatrice traits
    • Abbee now sells the Compost Bin, which turns seeds+flowers into grass tiles
    • Jukebox can now store all 14 tracks, and will automatically pick a new track to play from it's storage when the current track ends
    • Added a new "pin" button to menus when playing with MKB that when active will save the menus position on re-open rather than reset it!
    • Backpacks now have an extra row and column of storage (dont say i dont ever give ya nuffin)
    • Added the "Dye Station" which you can craft - currently used to dye backpacks different colors!
    • Now indicate a "grumpy" icon on the bee book page to save having to hove the book's trait info section to check if a species is grumpy
    • Now indicate a special icon on the bee book pages for empress/arctic/blazing to represent their special effects
    • Gates now have an extra marker to get you back to THAT place if you've been there before
    • You can now retrigger the credits by clicking on the door (when already opened)
    • Changed the visual of capped frames to be a different pattern to uncapped for visual clarity
    • Removed the larger honeycore crystals from having collision
    • Added a seperate "inverse hotbar scroll" option now please stop asking lmao
    • Added a "More Mods!" button to modding menu to link to the master mod list on the wiki!
    Crash Fixes
    • Fixed ERROR in action number 1 of StepEvent0 for object ob_menu:animcurvechannel_evaluate() first parameter is not valid
    • Fixed ERROR in action number 1 of StepEvent0 for object co_gamepad:Variable unknown_object>.open(100464,-2147483648) cannot be resolved
    • Fixed ERROR in action number 1 of DrawEvent for object co_renderer:Variable unknown_object>.honeycore not set before reading it
    Bug Fixes

    • On a similar note, any pink corrupted bees will be deleted or turned into “safe” cubes when loading a save now
    • Fixed not being able to load mods when joining someones game
    • Fixed the host's midnight weather report not syncing to joining players making weather go out of sync

    • Fixed clicking on the Door with a gamepad crashing the game
    Modding
    • Changed how CTRL+SHIFT+R works, now mod files will get reloaded without a game restart - this can cause some jank but at least you can hotload minor changes quicker! Sprites will reset but placed items will need to be picked up to get the updated sprite (same for your menu define logic!). Textures don't get reset so eventually you'll get mem leaks if you have lots of sprites in a mod.
    • Added "api_define_wall" which lets you define your own walls (see Sample Mod for an example)
    • Added a "bench" property for "api_define_object" that will allow the object to function like a bench when clicked
    • Added a "bed" property for "api_define_object" that will allow the object to function like a bed when clicked (requires a 5th sprite frame, see Sample Mod)
    • Added a "has_lighting" property for "api_define_object" that will make the object act as a light source
    • Added a "bee_lore" property for "api_define_item" that will show in the bee book if it's the special produce for that bee
    • Added the pressed button instance ID as a second parameter to button click scripts in "api_define_button" buttons
    • Added "api_http_request" which lets you send a standard HTTP req that will callback to the new "http()" hook
    • Fixed the obj draw script in "api_define_menu_object" not being called for custom obj draw overrides
    • Fixed "api_get_sprite" not returning standard oid items or items during "init()"
    • Fixed "flowerX", "seedX", "dyeX", and "trackX" not being usable in menu definitions
    • Added the ability to set a custom input restriction with "customX:{oid}", i.e. "customX:axe" would only allow items with an oid containing "axe"
    • Added "api_define_validation_icon()" which lets you set the custom icon shown for custom input restrictions
    • Fixed mod items loading twice (maybe?)
    • Fixed modded quest/bee/flower progress not being kept (claimed, discovery, etc)
    • You can now bin modded items that no longer have their mod loaded (blank pink cubes)
    Modding Docs
    • Updated "Sample Mod" with an example bench, bed, and lighting item
    • Added a new sample mod, "Sample Workbench Mod" to show how you could approach a workbench-style menu
    • Made it clear that shop_key is optional on definitions

    • Added buttons to instance props
    • Added image_xscale + image_yscale to instance props

    1.2.1

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Just a quick one for today to cover some changes that went alongside the server changes made last night when the server was restarted!

    Changes
    • Made some changes to BeeNet to help prevent desync
    • Updated some client-side socket stuff to help prevent desync
    • Added Steam Cloud links for mapping between Windows > Linux, Mac > Linux etc so that saves on PC should now be visible on SteamDeck

    1.2.0

    Hey Beekeepers!

    Wow what a release, thanks so much for everyone who's been playing, leaving us the most wonderful reviews, and helping us clean up some of the less friendly bugs!

    This update is pretty much just various fixes that seemed urgent, including a fix for rejoining your friends MP game crashing / clearing your progress. NOTE: if it's still not loading (from somehow getting corrupted during a crash) you'll need to clear your "players.json" file in %localappdata%

    Also I've tried a slight change to GameMaker's SteamWorks extension that I'm hoping helps the few of you seeing that weird "Steam Not Connected" screen when you're literally in Steam - let me know if it helps! HOWEVER, achievements won't unlock for you - I've had to raise a support request with GameMaker directly. But it's the lesser of 2 evils, either your steam won't initialise and you can't play the game, or no achievements but you can play the game :')

    I'm still looking into the "desync" issue that can sometimes occur for a few of you, usually it would be from bad/busy internet connection but I think there might be something in-game thats triggering a big flow of packets that is overwhelming the other player's socket. If you think you've been able to replicate this desync by doing something specific please come ping me in Discord!
