Version 1.0.2019.11.11.963#

Initial release.

Version 1.0.2019.11.12.1005#

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: \Superliminal_Data\il2cpp_data\Metadata\global-metadata.dat is 304 bytes bigger than the last version, check it sometime. Don't know if the .dat files that get exported should be checked. Most seem to have a singular byte changed. Models might be a bit hard since most of them look like re-exports.

playtimeData.txt#

In the root folder of the game, there is a text file called playtimeData.txt that tracks playtime and does have initial starting data that is different from the version before.
