Hey everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I’m rolling out a significant update soon—so if you haven’t jumped into Don’t Stop In Red Wood yet, now’s the perfect time to wait. Thanks to some incredibly detailed feedback, I’ve identified and fixed the game‑breaking bugs that have been holding up Chapter 1.

What’s getting fixed:

• Pause menu “Resume” button: No more losing progress if you accidentally pause.

• Persistent bugs: Models and textures will fully reload on “New Game,” so you won’t need to quit the program to clear stuck assets.

• Tree texture glitch

• Frozen character models: Amber and the officer animations will play smoothly instead of locking in place.

Quality‑of‑Life additions:

• Model reload on New Game: Ensures every scene starts fresh.

• Auto save

I know this update has taken longer than expected, but I’m confident it’ll make your first run through the forest—and beyond—a lot more enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who took the time to report every detail of their experience. Your feedback is what makes this game better.

Stay tuned for the patch notes, and I’ll let you know the moment it’s live.
