Patch notes are imported from steam. There may be errors. This mostly exists so I can stay on top of them to update the features in our tags and scoring categories (which I do manually), but since many of you liked the idea of staying up to date with all the games in one place I'm working on making this data automated (right now I manually hit it every couple days) with better info and linking in with the game views.

There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.

The Last Veggies » The Last Veggies Update 0.7.9.5

Hi Players!

I hope you are all doing well! In the last two weeks I have been focusing on fixing some issues that some of you have encountered during your gameplay. But I have also added a new character to the game that brings some changes to the gameplay and the difficulty of the game when chosen. I have now a plan for a total of 20 characters in the finished version of the game. (They are already in progress) Also there will be two more maps for gamemode 3 and more maps for the other gamemodes as additional dlc content in the future. I have achieved the right balance for gamemode 3 so i will be working on those in the next few weeks. And of course i will still keep fixing those nasty bugs that might appear from time to time. It is still an early access title! For the full changelog read the text below.
There are also some other news besides the update. The game will be featured in the steam autumn and winter sales so if you do not have a copy yet there will be a 50% discount during that time!

I wish you all a great weekend! ːsteamhappyː
