Hello everyone! Hope you’ve all had a great summer! We’ve been enjoying some time off ourselves, recharging our batteries with friends and family (hence the lack of update last month), but now we’re back at it again and ready to share what’s been going on.

The big news is that Stable is finally updated!! That means NewGame+ and Custom Game is now fully playable for everyone who owns the game! Of course, the update has been out on frontline for a while now, which means we’ve already received tons of valuable feedback, and over the past weeks, we’ve been busy fixing bugs, sorting through your suggestions, and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.

One common piece of feedback we’ve seen is that players would like a way to re-purchase or rebuild pins they’ve discarded. We understand where this comes from, but for now we’ve decided to hold off on implementing such a feature. One reason is that we want pins to feel valuable – if you’re able to mix and match too easily, the fun and randomness of the system loses some of its charm. Being lucky enough to find a strong pin should feel exciting, and that sense of luck gets watered down if it’s too easy to retrieve a pin you’ve previously thrown away. It also makes the decision of which pins to keep less impactful, since the consequences are less meaningful. That said, we’re still very open to feedback on the matter, and we’ll keep listening to your thoughts as more people play the Stable version!

So, what’s next on the agenda? I’ve said it once before, and I’ll say it again: Local Co-op! This is a feature that many of you have been looking forward to for a long time, and we’re excited to finally give it the attention it deserves. We’ve already had some initial discussions on how to best make it work, and while there’s still plenty of design and technical details to figure out, we can’t wait to get started. Of course, how much time we’ll be able to spend on it depends a lot on how many new bugs appear in the Stable update. Fingers crossed!

As always, thank you so much for playing, testing, and sharing your feedback! It really means the world to us.
