Today we bring a temporary hotfix to a problem that will need some sorting later down the line.
Changelog:
Disabled RTC checks for Year and Month
As it turns out, this system has some issues, mainly that as soon as the rapidly approaching new year rolls around, all save files would be wiped due to the way this system works. It'll have to be completely rebuilt later down the line, but for now, this will stop any potential progress losses.
This update also applies to the demo.
Stay tuned!
Thank You!
We would just like to formally thank everyone who supported VirtuaCreature for its initial launch. It has been pretty successful considering its small amount of advertising or word of mouth promotion. We hope you all had fun!
If you would like to know of what's coming, VC should receive Steam Trading Cards and all the associated goodies that come with them within the next month or so (assuming Steam doesn't restrict us like it very well might, we're still marked as in discovery). In terms of content, there are currently no planned additions other than fixing any reported issues or bugs.
We have several new projects in the works, one of which is another game. It's quite an exciting and ambitious undertaking, and be sure to stay tuned in the coming months for more information.
Once again, a huge thank you and we look forward to the future!
EDIT: I would just like to clarify that this does not mean VC will never receive a content update. Rather, that I do not currently have one in the works. If the community desires new content, please be vocal about what you would like to see and it could become a possibility. Sorry about the confusion!

Quick Hotfix & Save Wipe
Hello everyone!
We hope you've had a good time with VC so far. We've deployed a quick hot fix, here are the notes:
Fixed arena round text not displaying 2 digit numbers
Fixed hunger going up instead of down when left for long periods of time
Unfortunately, that second fix required re-writing one of the values our clock system uses, which means any save files made up until this point will find their creature has died. We really didn't want to do this and we apologize, but it's better that this hump is crossed so the game functions better as a whole.
This update also applies to the demo.
Sorry again and we hope you have fun!
