Hi everyone,We’ve been reading through the forums and the recent comments, and it’s clear that many of you are wondering what’s going on with Honey, I Joined a Cult. Specifically, we’ve seen the word "abandoned" pop up quite a bit. We wanted to step in, clear the air, and give you an honest update on where things stand.The Journey Since 2017First off, we want to reassure you: we haven’t abandoned the game.

We're admittedly a bit rusty and slow at the moment. Some of the code we're back tinkering with was written by us half a decade ago, and some of the people that helped out with said code are no longer around, BUT we have got together a patch to fix some of the most pressing issues that you've raised. There's a brief summary below: Changes/bug fixes Fixed crash after promoting a follower. Fixed crash after sacking cultist. Fixed crash after growing plants in the Arboretum.

Hello there, It’s been a while. We want to apologise to you all for the lack of updates/communication on HIJAC. Rest assured, we have not abandoned it and are now working on the next update. So why the lack of updates? Firstly, HIJAC took a very long time for the two of us to make (ridiculously long, it’s actually pretty embarrassing). It was our first game and we had to learn everything from scratch, such as coding, how to make the artwork etc. When we finally released into 1.0, we were quite frankly, a bit frazzled and burnt out.

Greetings followers! We have just pushed a hotfix for the game, fixing a couple of reported issues. Bug Fixes: Raids that result in room specific objects being confiscated now allows those objects to be rebuilt. Lowered the Faith penalty of some Leader Demands so that they are no longer so severe that they become unrecoverable from. We're working hard on additional fixes and are monitoring all of your fantastic feedback, so keep it coming! Thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/841190/Honey_I_Joined_a_Cult/
