A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Added a few new features in the settings, hopefully it will be more convenient to use.
Food now works properly
Fixed audio visualizer
Someone probably find this build more stable, tell about all what not works, added system sound visualizer to items.
Added two types of snow Audio snow reacts to system sounds Music snow plays some music Still working on larger updates and porting to other systems. Merry Christmas everyone!
If you have black screen issue and first black screen fix not works well, second black screen fix mode probably will help you. As always i highly recommend update your gpu drivers (discrete and integrated) and try in all modes if you get some unexpected black screens or lags/visual bugs.
Added some optimizations for laptops (you can find it in settings). I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the cats on the completed stage of life. Tomorrow you may notice that they are celebrating.
Pets now really don't like when someone eat their food.
I heard something about 4 tunes and a giant cake at the end (which is not a lie). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/df815c32d656121ae5662d56351957272d1c571d.png It also probably turns off when you right-click on the snowflake.
YOUR HOLIDAY GIFT IS {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/c0ac692e4c8c460b08ee80767a9cb6864eec41ae.png FRIENDSHIP Meet 5 new dog pets, of course they have dog memes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/d12ef3f2f779410bca17631af550c801787e15ca.png
Now you can pet your pets with Pet Glove! Added small red and gray hearts what helps understanding what your pet like and dislike. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/58fdcbdc169a11f42aff5cdccb712f81c96cae5a.gif
Some bugs are appeared in previous 4 slots enable, but now all what i find are fixed. Some of you asked for more slots and here it is. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/b45e16852792e757090cbafbfa3a44216bb5e760.gif
Fixes to new functions and some old bugs
4 pets slots available by default, 2 more than before. Some asked for this.
It has some interesting interactions with pets, but mostly pets will be angry if you use this bad whistle. You can use it by pressing rightclick, sound depends on whistle position and whistle type. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/ddb2e2ad14c5546c2e2b5968e390e6dedf53f58f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666290/f060689a40f3e2c56833ca1009442b18c07bd117.gif
