• Fixed implicit recipes not giving the equip sprites of modded items
• Colored tag now works for all clothing
• Mod items now appear with the right size in the character creator
  

• Told the profanity filter to relax a bit
• Mods can now add to the atheneum, character creator options and loading screen lines
• Fixed mod items not appearing right when they're made with an implicit recipe
• Picking a starting house that contains consorts or imps no longer breaks the game

• Visiting the lich queen no longer breaks save files
• Wearing electronic clothing no longer breaks save files
  

• Woke up the Lich Queen's underling minions
• Make the Lich Queen dungeon work correctly in multiplayer
• Fixed an issue with loading games where a consort has given you a quest
• Fixed an issue with loading games where you're in a dungeon
• Added back and fixed Heart's Fluctuate and Rage's Turmoil ability
• Make the "fight your guardian" quest correctly appear when the game starts

- Loading houses in the house creator is possible again
- Fix ranged attacks and abilities that use the mouse position for targetting not working in multiplayer
- Make "give me this item" quests work
- Make sure underlings get the right grist type in multiplayer
- Giclopses, gremlins and titachnid now get the stats they're supposed to have
- Underling names no longer sometimes have (Clone) at the end

We also added a chat filter, because there were reports of people purposely putting slurs in their lobby names. If it's too strict we'll have future patches to fine-tune it to make sure you can still do a comic-accurate Karkat.

If you're observant, you might notice there's now a Workshop tab . You can even subscribe to items, and they'll magically show up in your game! No need to update your game, this was already included in the previous patch :)
This'll give modders a nice, central place to share their work, and everyone else an easy way to use it.

• Fixed a bug that caused all lands to have nakodiles
• Custom shirt symbols no longer sometimes show up as '?'
• The house creator now lets you place more than one of the same item
• Consort shops now let you buy more than one of the same item
• The Witch and Maid of Space's abilities no longer leave the target slightly stronger after it wears off
• Fixed a bug from the previous patch that caused the loading screen to always get stuck if your character is (secretly) wearing perfectly generic objects
  

This patch should hopefully make loading saved sessions work better, fixes two annoyances in house creation, and get rid of some mysterious bugs with building after visiting your land.

• Fix the game loading in the wrong land
• No more falling through the land upon loading
• In the house creator, save the player's current position as spawn point
• Fix checks for whether furniture can be placed
• Make sure when loading, clothes go in the correct slots (no more wearing your pants as a hat)
• Prevent empty lobby names
• Make sure gates and return nodes show up at the right height
• No longer save items on a table or in a furnace twice
  

• Fix saving and loading for the hashmap modus
• Completely fix teleporting of gates, dungeon entrances/exits and transportalizer stations
• Prevent broken abilities from completely breaking the game
• Lower imp spawn rates in house depending on how many already exist
  

This patch fixes a widespread bug where gates, dungeons and transportalizer stations in multiplayer take you to a grey void instead of your destination. This should make multiplayer a lot more playable!

Other new things:

• The loading screen now sticks around until you've successfully joined the session
• There is now an option to join by lobby ID
  

This patch replaces our existing character controller with a new (old) one. This should fix a lot of issues regarding teleportation and some issues regarding projectiles. There are also minor fixes included, please refer to the list below for a more complete list.

• Fixes lands looking different on the client than on the host
• Replaced character controller
• Fixed icons for Apron, Wide Brin Hat, Bathing Suit, Ribbon and Top Hat
• Fixed being able to move around and open the global chat with the debug console (F2) open
• Fixed the lobby combobox repeating its entries when something in the lobby changed
• Fixed unprototyped kernelsprites not showing up correctly on clients
  

This should fix the infamous grey screen bug when joining sessions!
If you still get it, please let us know.

• Fix two different bugs that could prevent you from joining a session properly, getting a grey screen instead
• Implement proper debug console (you can open that with F2)
• Fixed pause menu quitting bug
• Fixed name and classpect not showing in equipment tab
• Added four additional houses
• Removed option to return to the menu when dying, as it can break the session. Just respawn and then end the session from the pause menu.

• Fixed some general bugs that would spam the log file with useless errors
  

• Joining through the friend list should work now
• Game invites and joining works as well with the sole exception of accepting an invite when the game is closed.
  This currently doesn't work but we're working on it.
• Fix various bugs related to loading a session

• Allow placing down machines multiple times again
• Added a button to invite players inside a lobby
• Other misc. fixes

You can access the official TGP Steam guide simply by clicking the 'Tutorial button' on the Main Menu,


or by clicking the yellow question mark in the bottom right corner ingame!


...or you could just go to the Steam guides page: it's there too!

This makes sure that the lands don't all show up in the same place and end up overlapping each other, and also fixes a bug where on entry the background didn't get replaced.

An update to The Genesis Project has been released.

The minor changes include:

• The list of lobbies will no longer return only lobbies near the currently logged in player
• Lobbies will no longer reject passwords from members that aren't the owner of the lobby
• Fix walls staying transparent

After a long and eventful year, we have finally made the jump to Steam!

I think many of you would agree that seeing this game appear in your Steam library feels surreal and unexpected, as it does for us. After a long and arduous process of reworking the game's multiplayer and housing code, as well as the rework of saving and loading sessions, we think the game is ready to hit Early Access. The game still has a lot of bugs, yet we are committed to fix them all. And Steam makes this process a lot easier.

But what does this mean exactly for the game?

So what has changed in total since 0.4.13?

Added

• New books, including the community poetry event book! (Can you find and read them all?)
• New models
  These include: Models for Time, Life and Blood planets, models from LoWaS and iron-related models
• 71.5 new items
  Special picks from yours truly, I highly recommend the Squiddle Dress, the Pe2terPoggle2, and the Mushroom Hat!
• 6 new symbols
• 4 Fringes and 9 Hairstyles
• Library containing LiteDb classes we use for items
• A tutorial button inside the session which opens a guide in Steam
• Roofs for houses
  

Changed

• Updated Unity version to 2020 LTS
• Reworked multiplayer to use Mirror and either Steam or the KCP protocol
  Multiplayer should be a lot more optimized and less buggy now.
  There still might be bugs though.
• Reworked houses
  Houses from 0.4.13 will be compatible, so make sure they work in 0.4.13.
  Older houses will need to be upgraded using older versions of TGP.
• Reworked how global chat works internally
• Rework the lobby code to use Steams lobbies instead of our own
• Reworked saving and loading of the game
  Sessions are now saved every 5 minutes.
  You will also be nagged to save the session once you try to exit the game.
  Sessions are saved on the hosts computer inside the StreamingAssets folder under SaveData.
  Saved sessions are also synced with the Steam Cloud, so you don't have to worry about changing devices.
• Changed how loading of items and recipes works
  The item database will only be opened at the start of the game and reads all items in and is then closed.
  Custom items can be stored in different database files for early modding support.
• Changed the logo in the main menu to the new logo
• Moved loading of a session into the lobby
• Posters are now regular items instead of its own thing
• Changed the Update button from the main menu to a tutorial button
• Updated the assets for 6.5 items, as well as 2 Prototyped Sprites
  

Removed

• Removed support for joining through Discord
• Removed slur from the Sburb guide book
• Removed 3rd party posters
  

Fixed

• Sleeves, shirts and coats use the new sleeve system now
• A LOT of bugs
