I mentioned it on twitter and discord, but I've spent all this month knocked on my ass with covid (Third time, how about you?).
Had a week of exhaustion. Then several days of full body pain. Pressure in my head so bad that my teeth hurt. Bad headache for the next week. Then another week slowly recovering.
I also lost my sense of taste and smell. Was down to like, I'd guess, 10% capacity for both. I noticed it when i opened a can of tuna, and smelled nothing. Thought maybe something was weirdly wrong with the tuna. Then i asked my GF and she could smell it, and so i was like "OH! It's just brain damage. Fun."
Spent the week before now recovering. Catching up on sleep (because of the cough messing with sleep). Sense of taste and smell are mostly back but some things just don't taste right. Maybe that will recover? Hopefully?
As a result the patch notes for this update are... not girthy.
Changes:
Added save/load function
Can only save in between days. Things will stay that way, as i don't want to also save the food board and the customer's current mood.
There is no fancy functionality for multiple save files. It just saves one save file and loads from one file
I have tested it, but I'm sure there is edge cases i didn't test.
But, this should let people resume the stretching of customer's stomachs. So this is a key feature to have implemented. I make no promises for future save compatibility.
For the time being, downloads will be done through itch.io. You will need an account but it's free and easy to set up. No need to put in payment details there. There are several reason for this change that are mostly technical but boring.
