Hey all,

The final features update before Act 2 is now live. I didn't want this update to be boring, so I'm adding a previously unannounced feature: The Item Library!

The Item Library

Any items you see while playing are now discovered in the Item Library; accessible from the start menu, or from the menu cog while playing. This gives you a collection to complete, as well as a reference for strategizing.

Autosaving

The game will now autosave, allowing you to close the game mid run and not lose your progress.

Steam Cloud Support

Since this update was all about saving progress, it made perfect sense to also take the time to add Steam Cloud support! Your game data will now sync to the Steam Cloud.

Crash Logs

Kinda boring, I know, but game crash errors are now saved in a text file, and the crash window will give more helpful info to you than before (not that players get crashes often!).

So…

This update took a bit longer than I planned, turns out saving game data is complex (who knew?). If anyone encounters any errors, please don't hesitate to post on the discussion board, or you can join my Discord here: https://discord.gg/5cBSPKk and post in the Astronarch Feedback channel.

With all the feature updates out of the way, we can go full steam ahead with content updates! I have a lot of Act 2 planned out, but art has yet to be started. I'm still steadfast on my goal of Act 2 releasing in June. I'll remind everyone again that the price of the game will be increasing slightly on the release of Act 2, but obviously won't affect anyone who owns the game already.

Thanks everyone for the support and feedback, I'll make sure Act 2 and onwards are worth the wait!
