Hey everyone,

Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the problem players are experiencing with some of the bugs, we know how frustrating this can be, and it's certainly not the experience we intended for you.

We have investigated focusing on creating a patch that solely revolves around the issue of game save data. The difficulty with this approach is that trying to isolate a version of the code that solves only the save data issue requires regressing a number of updates to the main code base which creates a much greater risk of breaking other things without heavy testing.

Not only would the risk of delivering an unstable update be too big, but there is also a greater risk that such a patch would not be submitted to the console platform Additionally, we are limited to one submission for certification at any specific time, so we want to provide you guys with the best update possible without creating a longer wait between patches.

WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?

Other important updates will be available on PC this week to address important issues, such as the disappearance of Planimals, the bunker not working as expected and crops not growing during the dark season. We will include these critical updates first, and then our goal is to have the console patches ready to submit to all platforms by the end of next week. Some platforms may be submitted more quickly than others, but we will do our best to get everything out as quickly as possible.

Xbox players, please also be aware that if you are unable to progress past the main menu, this is a known platform issue and we’re working with Microsoft to try and find a solution. There is a temporary fix if you restart your system and reboot the game.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We understand that the wait is frustrating, and we're working very hard to get patches onto consoles as soon as possible to ensure players get the best possible experience alongside PC gamers. Having the patches available on PC may be frustrating, but there is a benefit in that it acts as a layer of additional testing for the fixes that have been implemented, and directly benefits the work on console patches.

Thank you again for trusting us with your purchase of Monster Harvest. We don't take this lightly and would like to be able to bring you these updates sooner.

As we mentioned, the launch is just the beginning for Monster Harvest. This is version 1.0 and we have many plans for continued support with content, all of which applies to both console and PC.

We have lots of plans ourselves, and once critical fixes are out on all platforms focus will shift to content updates to expand the game. Player feedback is key here, and we’ve already seen some great suggestions. So please do tell us what you want to see more of, what you want to see less of, and what is most important to you for the future of Planimal Point.

Thanks

The Merge Games Team
