Graphical Glitch + Hotfix

There was an issue with the graphics glitching, since that hotfix I'd been trying to figure out why it happened with little luck, but I just now finally got it! So I've patched that tonight.

  • Ghost fleas should be gone now

  • Butterflies have been placed around the graveyard south of Dark Isthmus
  • The preset and marking area of the store now resets the position of the scrolling box when you do certain things like toggling on and off.
  • Added a "Raptor only" tickbox for Market sets since it did not exist before.

About Negative Reviews

I want to preface this by saying that all the people who leave positive reviews for the game and put in a lot of effort to protect the game are absolutely wonderful people and I love you guys and everything I do I do for you.

NOW! About negative reviews....

The fact that this game is in early access and there's only one dev working on it, etc. etc. doesn't elevate the game above criticism.

Cereal Soup NEEDS criticism. It NEEDS a critical eye to look at the game and say what's wrong with it. It won't get better or grow without it!

As much as I love the people who play everyday and deem the game to be their favorite in their eyes, please understand that criticism is healthy! Even if the critique comes off as mean, its the necessary sour medicine the game needs to get better.

I genuinely love that people actually take time out of their day to leave a long review on the things they don't like about the game. It serves as a list I can add to CS's many issues and work on. I don't always see it if people don't say it unfortunately.

I would also really be upset if anyone else felt like they couldn't say anything negative about the game for any of the above reasons. I really DO want people to say something! Join the Discord! We even have a channel to talk about things that maybe you don't like but aren't necessarily bugs! It's all valuable!

This game is my vision, but it's also for you guys to enjoy! It's our world. And I want everyone to have a chance to affect it and make it something beautiful.

Thanks, duders
