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.

Hi Players!

I hope you are all doing well! Autumn Sale is over and a few people have decided to join us here in The Last Veggies! Thank you all for supporting my Game! ːsteamsaltyː
In the last weeks I have been working on the second map of Gamemode 3 which comes now with this Update. It will bring a new mechanic and a new way to obtain seeds! So go and check it out! There is also a new evil boss lurking around in Gamemode 1. The “M.O.A.M” will bring a new challenge to tha game. Furthermore I have made some improvements to the balancing of the Game, I fixed some bugs and issues and tested all the new stuff as much as possible. Still if you encounter any issues with the game let me know. The full changes can be found below. The next Update will be online before Christmas so stay tuned!

I wish you all a great weekend! ːsteamhappyː
