So I was hoping I wouldn't need to make this post, but it's been long enough now that I feel you deserve to know what's going on.

Last Saturday I tried to release V39, however the store backend ended up in an error state and I can no longer save it and publish changes. I've contacted Itch support about it, but they've yet to get back to me. The files for the update are there, I just can't set them to public. The changelog is also sitting there waiting to go, and I'm probably able to publish that, however it seems counteproductive to do so when the update it's about isn't available here.

The update is available on Steam, however you can currently only access the demo on Steam, and the ironic thing is that one of the main new features of it is a new arcade challenge that specifically isn't accessible on the demo. Thing is though, said challenge was showcasing a powerful build that after more testing turned out to be just too powerful, and has since gotten nerfed to the point that the challenge needs changing. So depending on when Itch finally gets back to me, if it's after V40 is ready then that specific iteration of the challenge will basically be lost media.

Next update will change the world though. Literally.
