Today, we begin a new stage in the development of Hack and Slime: Monthly updates. While we will continue with the weekly updates for the Beta version (Steam beta testing system), these will be announced in our Discord news channel.

The changelog regarding the week's work will be broken down, and we'll have different channels for you to report any bugs you find or suggest improvements. The more, the merrier, and it will make our game better.
On the first Friday of each month, we will release the weekly update along with a Steam news post summarizing all the month's work. This way, we won't clutter the news section with minor updates and will have a substantial list of changes to share.
Without further ado, here's the monthly changelog, and we remind you that we're looking forward to your feedback here, on Steam, and in our Discord.
You are Hack and Slime. Thank you very much.
