Jun 25, 2019	[Game Update] Hamlet - 345820 to 379591 Bug Fixes: Player will wait until after landing on a boat to sneeze. Fixed a graphic bug with fence gates when exiting interiors.

Jun 14, 2019	[Game Update] Hamlet - 343524 We've added a new Performance setting in Settings called Dynamic Asset Loading. It saves memory by loading certain data as needed, and unloading it when it’s not used for a while. Like most optimizations there’s a trade-off - while the dynamic loading decreases memory usage significantly it also means the game has to load assets in the background - depending on your hardware this may be noticeable	—	—

Apr 18, 2019	[Game Update] Hamlet - 327257 to 332388 Greetings Survivors! We’re close to releasing Hamlet from Early Access. As we said in a recent roadmap post, we have been working on two new characters plus a new giant to battle with. Actually, we would like to have those tested a bit. So, once more, we invite you to the interior beta branch, this time to meet the newest “guests” of the Constant: Wagstaff and Wheeler. But with light comes shadow.	—	—
Mar 28, 2019	[Game Update] Hamlet - 319878 Latest patch here with an invitation to beta test some new features. We’ve been working on improving performance and have a few changes that should make things better. This should particularly help with severe lag in interiors. But some of the backend changes are larger than we are comfortable to just deploy. We have set up a beta branch that people can go to and help us test out the changes. An a	—	—

Slurper can slurp Werewilba, b	—	—
Feb 14, 2019	[Game Update] Hamlet - 309027 Balance/New features Wormwood has an extra (short) anim when poop healing. Compost Wrap heals Wormwood for more now. Each world type (DS/ROG/SW/HAM) now has its own set of worldgen presets (to prevent incompatible presets from being applied) Bug Fixes Werewilba won’t be groggy in the humid season from her body hair anymore.

Incentive like surviving an Aporkalypse. So if you can survive several days of torment before you avert the cataclysm, the Pigs in towns all across Hamlet will throw a fiesta to celebrate life.
