Hey there,

Unfortunately the release build ran into unexpected critical issues that did not appear on the PTB nor our machines. While we investigate the cause, we will be rolling the public game version back to the last PTB patch shortly.

We apologise for this experience and we hope the rollback will allow you to try out Update 8. Please stay tuned for fixes as we resolve this issue.

Hey, thanks for the report. I'm assuming you're playing on a laptop where LMB and RMB hold is important for camera movement? Either way, I'm gonna take a look at this and fix it asap.

Hey, thanks for your feedback!

We're a smaller team, so the pace of progress isn't as blazing fast as we would like, but we are actively addressing these issues to heighten the playing experience. Here's what we are doing concretely:

-We're internally undergoing a complete guest art overhaul - this includes models, audio, and animation. So while they don't currently play any specific animations when using visitor specific structures, we are going to update them in the near future to have all the animations you would naturally expect (sitting on benches, pointing out animals, using binoculars, etc.)

-The guests currently do use structures and view animals, but as per the first point, they don't play any animation, which makes them seem as if they weren't using those points in the first place. The art overhaul will address this implicitly.

-Staff is coming later down the line, and with them, specific staff structures

Hope this helps clar... Read more

Hey, we're actually gonna update this soon!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! We're fixing this issue right now, and pushing out an update very soon! Stay tuned!

Realistically you are correct, however we've gone with cash because that makes it very easy to visualize the current donated amount at a glance

Hey, sorry to hear about this. We're gonna be putting another economy/guest AI balancing patch on the public testing branch in a couple days, hopefully that should fix this for you

Hey, thanks for your feedback, we're glad to hear you're having a better experience with the game now than at launch!

On the topic of UI bugs, I am always fixing as many as possible, especially on the excavations unlocking front, although those are especially hard to track down. We're hoping to make things more stable with each passing release.

You'll also be happy to know that we've recently been giving our costs and general economy a bit of a balancing pass, as things are not forgiving enough, especially in the early game at the moment. Continued player feedback is really important in this regard, since you guys are best at letting us know what works and what doesn't.

Thank you for the support and patience!

Yes, we've had some optimization updates since Early Access release, and heard great feedback from players that said performance had improved.

We also have more updates coming out later this year that should hopefully further help with performance.
