FANG-TASTIC SUMMER PATCH - PATCH NOTES V1.03
Hello, non-floaty humans!
If you were thinking about getting the game, now is a great time to do so. You can add the game to your collection for 40% off starting with the Steam Summer Sale on June 27th and ending an additional week after most sales end on July 19th!
Now let's get chomping on the fang-tastic additions and changes to get your summer started off right~
New Costume: Floaty Ducky!
Get your Summer vibes going with a unique beachside look - tan lines and floater included! Like Nana used to say, better safe than soggy.
New Feature: Controller Haptics!
Get a better feel for the game with the addition of a wee bit of rumbling, a generous pinch of tumbling, and a whole lot of trembling as you perform your daily duties with a controller in hand!
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue that could cause Mr Viktor to be extra-rude and refuse to give you a task or interact with the player, blocking progression in the Farming mode
Fixed an issue that was causing the Veggiepedia to never complete the listing of baddies, preventing the player from unlocking the “Fauna Connoisseur” achievement
Fixed an issue that could prevent the player from unlocking the “Who let the pets out?” achievement when using Poppycorns and Marsh’o’mellows to add up to the necessary count of 4 pets at once
Mr Viktor finally realized that Winter season has been over for a couple of months, and adequately stored his celebratory costume away
Balance
Once you defeat a Boss you will no longer need to continue to face an overly long amount of baddies, and will only have to make sure to defeat the ones that have already been spawned. This prevents interactions that could cause the Boss fight nights to overly extend due to the way the adaptive difficulty scaling was performing.

If you were thinking about getting the game, now is a great time to do so as we are part of the Steam Winter Sale through our publisher Freedom Games! From December 21st until January 8th, the game will be on sale for 35% off! Make sure to check out Freedom Games' Winter Sale 2023 page to pick up some great games to play over the holiday season.
To celebrate, we have a small patch for our favorite vegan vampire friends that fixes a couple of bugs and adds some seasonal cheer with festive costumes.
🎄 Festive Additions & Bug Fixes 🎄
Fixed a bug that could result in the level-up screen displaying with a placeholder "Lorem Ipsum" text when changing game modes under the same save slot (for example, losing in the Boss Rush mode and immediately starting a new game in the same slot that was just deleted, since Boss Rush clears the save on loss)
Fixed a localization bug in the credits that was not properly adjusting the title of Bullet, our office pet, to English
Fixed a visual bug that was displaying out-of-bounds images during some of the Carnival mini-games while playing in co-op
Changed MrViktor's look to something more festive when playing the Farming mode
Added 4 new unlockable costumes: Sandy Claws Hat, Sandy Claws Hat (Morgana), Rude Olf Costume and Sandy's Lil' Helper Hat

With this awesome news comes a very important step and a super urgent reminder!
During the past few months we have done our best to update the game with countless bug fixes, quality of life updates and fun new content - all very much guided by your feedback and fueled by your kind words. Now we're finally reaching the point where we feel that our work has enough value to be priced as a full product - and still remain respectful to all new players alike. That means it is also the time to update the game to its final pricing, as mentioned in our Early Access FAQ, which should be going into effect by the end of this week.
And finally, it also means that if you haven't purchased the game yet, this remaining period will be your last chance to grab your Early Access badge of honor - meaning the Unicorn Onesie costume for Voltaire and Morgana, which will remain exclusive for players that support the game during the Early Access period, these last few weeks included!
To everyone who has already played the game, given us feedback or nudged us forward with kind words - thank you sooo much for your continued support!
Don’t forget - we have tons of content, all vegan and floaty, across our social media. Give us a shout on Twitter, or come chat with us in Discord. We’re always here to listen, give tips 😉, and talk about your feedback!
