[h1]Hey, Tea Makers,[/h1] We've got a bunch of [b]QoL updates[/b] coming your way! Lots of small tweaks and changes have been made to make everything work a bit smoother. We've also added some polish on things like [b]UI[/b] and [b]optimizations[/b] for meshes. You might be wondering about our gap in updates and that's because [i]dundunDUUUN[/i] we got a new programmer!🎉 Our lead programmer Justin has started a new job, [strike](he works on trucks now, very cool)[/strike] and we're thrilled to welcome [b]Ash[/b] to the team. She worked on this update and will be with us on Pekoe moving forward. She's a wonderful addition and we're so happy to have her helping us make Pekoe even better! 🐱🍵✨ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40715618/009df8809e3aef613ea32c9d916f29212f97f717.png[/img] As a reminder, if you are experiencing a bug, you can report it in-game by either pressing the [b]F2 key[/b] or the drop-down button in the top right corner of the screen. Our Discord also has a bug channel for more in-depth one-on-one support! In particular, if there is a bug that you’ve already reported a while back but is still happening, there is a chance that this is a bug that we’ve had difficulty reproducing. If you’re able to hop into our Discord to help us track down and squash these pesky recurring bugs, we’d love to have you!
