Small patch today to fix the soft lock that may occur when reloading a game that would not allow you to close the casket.

Thank you!

Happy Monday, Gravediggers!

You will now save your data on Standard Difficulty every time you sleep and survive the night. After sleeping, you may exit the game and continue from where you last left off. If you flagged to lose the game on your next sleep, your save data will be deleted immediately. I have more detail information on how the saving works below the patch changes.

• You will now save the game when you sleep (Standard Difficulty only).
  
• There is now a continue option to load your saved game (Standard Difficulty only).
  
• There is now bad luck protection on loot (All difficulties)
  
• The value of the items you loot and the total value of loot for the body is now displayed while looting the casket.
  
• Display text will now always update to new text when prompted.
  
• Added new horror events.
  
• Added a sound effect to the alms box when depositing items.

• You will now start with 3 Crucifix, up from 2.
  
• You will now start with 2 Lockpicks, up from 1.

• You will now start with 2 Crucifix, up from 1.
  
• You will now start with 1 Lockpicks, up from 0.
  
• You will now start with $75, up from $50.
  
• Cleansing corruption will now restore 24 sanity seconds, up from 20 (this also includes prevented corruption from a crucifix).

• You will now start with 1 Crucifix, up from 0.
  
• You will now start with $50, up from $0.
  
• Cleansing corruption will now restore 18 sanity seconds, up from 10 (this also includes prevented corruption from a crucifix).

When you save and load the game, it will save all of your essential data and regenerate the rest. The game will save data such as your money, sanity, items, items-to-be-delivered, boosts, burnt bone progress, which value of caskets you've looted, the demons power, etc. The game will not save which graves have and have not been looted, tombstone names or un-looted compartment boxes.

The data that is not saved will be regenerated when you load your game. It will look at how many graves you dug, how many valuable graves you dug, and repopulate the graveyard with an appropriate amount of graves based on where you saved.

Please let me know if you run into any issues! Thank you so much for the continued support!

Happy Friday all!

I wanted to get this patch out before the weekend as I will not be available! There are some events that I wanted finished but still need some work and will have to come with the next patch.

The next patch will also have balancing changes for Hard and Nightmare mode as well as a reduction in randomness for those modes specifically.

Have a great weekend, thank you all for the continued support and happy digging!

• There is now a wall counter displaying your current digs for the night.
  
• Volumetric Fog toggle has been added to the Display Settings.
  
• Item Glow Effect has been added to the Accessibility Settings.
  
• Added some new horror events, there will be more coming with the next patch.
  
• Added a new death screen that gives some information about the main cause of your death.

• Ankh now guarantees you survive the night.
  
• Additional message prompts can display when surviving the night.

• Fixed a small bug that was causing Corruption to speed up a little too fast.

Quick small bug fixes!

• Fixed issue where replacing a Crucifix while holding a different item would delete that item.
  
• Fixed a corruption spot that was slightly behind the hallway painting.

Happy weekend all! Sending a quick patch of some needed adjustments that hopefully will help alleviate some of the more punishing aspects of the game. These changes should allow you to spend much more time working in the graveyard instead of having to rush and quickly get the body quota complete.

Just keep in mind of your remaining sanity, which can be represented by the painting in the hallway. If it has reached the final stage, you will then risk the chance of being killed.

In an upcoming update this next week, I will be adding and fixing some of the horror events. There are a handful of events that are currently disabled that need to be fixed, and I will be adding many more as well as some new body types and casket variants. 

• You can no longer die until you are on the final stage of sanity remaining.
  
• Corruption will happen less frequently.
  
• Corruption can not happen back-to-back after looting a burnt bone piece.
  
• Corruption that is not cleansed and blackens will be less punishing.
  
• The Ankh will no longer trigger until you are on the final stage of sanity remaining.
  
• The Ankh will provide more time when triggered.
  
• Moved the hallway painting to the other side of the wall and added an additional spotlight.
  
• Added a toilet interaction sound effect.

• Fixed bug with the casket getting stuck when standing too close to it and pushing it.
  
• Fixed Low Quality settings and reverted them back to their original amounts.
  
• Fixed Ultra Quality lighting using an 8192 resolution instead of 4096 for all point lights.
  
• Fixed the skull and pelvis burnt bone being swapped while placing them on the altar or in the mausoleum.
  
• Fixed the battery description not being aligned properly.

Thank you everyone for the continued support. Enjoy the weekend and happy digging!

This patch is just a quick balancing adjustment as the game was a bit more difficult than intended for Standard difficulty and a couple small bug fixes.

Will be doing regular patches to iron out all of the bugs and continue adding new things such as more body types, more casket types and more horror events.

Thank you!
