Patch 0.30 Public Release — INCUR Survival News

🚀Exciting News!

We are thrilled to announce the public release of version 0.30, now out of beta! This version introduces a plethora of new features and content for you to explore.

Please note that while we’ve made significant progress, not all features and systems are complete. There are still many works in progress and new features to be added. However, we’ve completed all game-breaking features, including the new save system and multiplayer system.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to load game saves from v0.20 and older in this version due to the implementation of a new game save system. This change allows us to add new features and content more flexibly.

Stay updated with all the latest game developments, and share your questions, suggestions, and feedback on the INCUR Survival Discord Server
