RonChon:I'm super happy to announce that our dev team is growing with the addition of Riven! many of you may know Riven from the game-mods channel. he has already been helping me put the pedal on 0.8c development and is proving an invaluable addition to the team! please join me in officially welcoming him with that, we have tentative plans for 0.8c to be code-complete by the end of this month (August), at which point I anticipate a public beta. then it'll just be a matter of quashing bugs before the official release as I discussed in a previous announcement, 0.8c is a tech-heavy release focused on behind-the-scenes code flow and optimization. to this end, we are clearing the slate in terms of save compatibility, as our after_load label was getting pretty bloated from measures to make saves forwards compatible
that's right: 0.8c will require a new save
the whole team is working hard to minimize the need for this kind of save breaking going forward. normally we have a good amount of recourse to avoid it, but the changes made in 0.8c are significant enough to make it necessary. we've gone ahead and pushed as many breaking changes as we could think of into this update, so I sincerely hope this is a one-off
