- THE GREAT BUG HUNT - 1 October 2026
🐛 THE GREAT BUG HUNT 🐛 Hey everyone! Over the past few months, you guys have sent us a LOT of bug reports. We recently went through all of them and compiled everything into one giant spreadsheet so we could properly organize and prioritize what needs fixing. There were so many bugs in it that my browser actually froze trying to open the spreadsheet. So... we may have accumulated a few bugs. :D Because of that, we're going to temporarily delay adding new features and focus on fixing and polishing what is already in the game. We've already started going through the list, and this update takes care of a big batch of them. But there are still bugs hiding out there. And that's where The Great Bug Hunt begins! 🐛 ALREADY SQUASHED Controller Fixed the tool wheel when a controller is plugged in. Mouse and keyboard can now select tools while a controller is connected. Moving the mouse aims the…

- Patch Notes + 2D Assets Upgrade 0.8.28 - 17 August 2026
There’s been a lot of discussion about AI art in the game, so just to clear things up: Much of the game’s artwork, music, 3D assets, and other creative work has been created in collaboration with artists or hand-picked from platforms such as Canva, Envato, and iStock. However, some AI-generated images did make their way into the game through these third-party assets without being clearly identified as such. With help from our community, we’ve been reviewing these assets individually and removing or replacing anything we can’t confidently verify. With a lot of help from people on our Discord, we identified around 40 2D assets out of roughly 1,460 art assets currently in the game, These 40 assets either appeared to be AI-generated or that we couldn’t confidently verify that they were not. We’d rather remove or replace something than leave questions about its origin. The assets we identifi…
