- Next patch progress & design changes - 7 February 2026
Just a quick update to share some development news 🙂The next update is moving along well, with fixes, balance changes, and quality-of-life improvements in progress.Two important content updates:Animals are being reworked into a simple, easy-to-access breeding system, based on in-game days. Feeding them will allow them to reproduce or generate resources in a clearer and more consistent daily loop.Based on your feedback, the duality system is changing: it will no longer lock content. All upgrades will be accessible in a single playthrough, and dualities will now act as specialization boosts instead of permanent unlock choices.At the same time, I’ve started a big new task: controller and Steam Deck support. It’s a fairly challenging piece of work (inputs, UI, interactions…), especially since it’s a first for me, so it’s taking some time, but I want to do it properly.Thanks again for all y…
