I don't think this is correct. Your max score on the day is the one that appears on the leaderboards. Maybe you went over time on your higher scoring game?

Their report said that text in "Journal, hints, profile statut and settings" was too small. Once I get a build addressing this, it'd be really helpful if you could pull-in a test-branch and confirm legibility.

I'll be in touch on discord then, which will probably be ~ this weekend. Thanks!

Valve's Steam Deck Compatibility info screen that shows Gentoo Rescue being "Playable", with everything passing except that "Some in-game text is small and may be difficult to read".

My game has finally been reviewed for Steam Deck compatibility!

It's only "Playable" because apparently some (optional) text is too small. If anyone has the game, a Steam Deck, and is willing to test, please reach out. For now I'm happy it's acknowledged at least ๐Ÿง

Steam Workshop support is getting very close. I owe a huge shoutout to these testers and their levelpacks. I can't wait to play them!

Need? No budget. I wouldn't start a project that I didn't think I could complete start to finish without a budget.

Want? Well, it would be nice if I didn't have to spend 40+ hours per week doing my real job that allows me and my family to be housed, clothed, and fed.

I won't say that either is easy, but I do wonder why you think saving is easier than loading. Is it because of backwards compatibility, where loading has to account for saves across any version while saving just needs to worry about the current version?
