Welcome back for another set of patch notes! This release brings a handful of bug fixes for the custom engine on Linux (and a few new features to boot). Special thanks to anyone who tried it out, gave feedback or reported bugs either in our Discord server or in the Steam community discussions. Remember, if you ever run into a bug, we want to hear about it! The majority of bugs that are reported to us get fixed within a few days, which saves anyone else from running into the same problem and helps make the game better for everyone. Going forward, we will continue to maintain the Bits & Bops demo, but the releases will be less frequent while we focus our attention on creating content for the full game. As always, you can keep up with our community in our Discord server, including checking out all the cool mods and remixes people have been creating!
