Hey, so I haven't played for awhile. And I came here to see what sort of updates to expect, but I don't seem to be seeing any of the new stuff? Am I super 'special' and missing an update button somewhere around here or do I have to re-download each update?

It depends on how you initially set up your itch.io app. It should download the updates automatically if you have it set up similar to steam. Beware the New version has a bug where loading a save slot can take 5-10 minutes...

Going to have to figure out where that is saved to in my computer. Thanks.

Whelp, it turns out I did not download it with itch.io. Pays to read, or not read as the case may be lol

I was thinking about donating once I get some poor choices in finances under control anyway. So for now I will enjoy the outdated version I have and update when $5 or so fits with my budget. 

Great! hopefully I'll have an update out soon to fix the long load times when loading from a save slot.
