Hello Universe Architects,

The simulation is receiving a minor update. As we continue preparing for the Reality Reboot, expect minor updates like this one to occur. While these patch notes don't have a lot of pizzazz, it does come with an important bug fix.

• Fixed: Bugged purchase interruptions when reopening the game.

From May 7-11, our team will be showcasing what we've been working on at PAX East in Boston. If you're in the area or are already planning to come, we'd love to see you there! If you're interested in attending, badges are still available on PAX East's official site[east.paxsite.com].

Stay cellular!
The Cells Team

Cheese-ings greetings, Universe Architects.

There are few commonalities that all humans share, but one of those things is the necessity to eat. Which types of food do we enjoy the most, though? There’s one in particular that often comes up when we debate which flavor profiles make our taste buds dance or our brains crave more. Humans can’t seem to get enough of this divine treat that can be savory, sweet, or even something else entirely. Give a warm and gooey welcome to:

Over the course of time, humans have transformed milk into cheese (and then into iconic dishes). Some types have become cultural staples, while others opened the door for lactose allergies. Whether you are dairy sensitive or a cheddar fiend, there’s a cheese for everyone on the delicious Explore Event tree.

• From Ricotta to Cotija, unlock up to 41 of our tastiest Research Nodes yet.
  
• See it to brie-lieve it: these eight new Generators are guaranteed to make anyone’s mouth water.
  
• Host the ultimate cheese dinner party when you fill up cutting boards and charcuterie plates on the event tree background.
  
• Feel like the winner of the Gloucester Cheese Rolling Competition when you catch the Cheese Wheel Quantum Charge.

Are you a fan of a gritty and savory Parmesan? Or perhaps you like more of a soft and sweet cream cheese? No matter your preference, plenty of classic cheeses are ready for sampling. Lay out an appetizing spread in the new Explore Event garden as you unlock a wide variety of dairy delights.

Win best in show with these cream-of-the-crop Explore Event badges.

Did the March livestream miss your radar? Gouda thing you can watch it on our official YouTube! There we delved into the making of Explore: Cheese and answered questions about the Reality Reboot that we announced in our most recent dev diary. We also announced something fun for the Cells community: the “Cheese, Please” Recipe Contest.

If you have a killer recipe with a special cheesy ingredient, share it with us for a chance to win Darwinium and an Infinity Pass! Entries are still open for the “Cheese, Please” Recipe Contest and anyone can enter until April 28th at 3 PM ET. Read up on the rules, guidelines and more on the official contest page.

Other than preparing for the ultimate Reality Reboot (and indulging in dairy), our team has been getting ready for our return to PAX East! From May 8th-11th, we’ll be showcasing Cell To Singularity and the Reality Reboot alongside many other talented indie developers. If you’re not far from Boston, we’d love to see you there! Get your PAX East badges here.[east.paxsite.com]

If you’re reading this now, thank you for making it all the way to the end! We’ll continue churning out status updates for players as we near the release of the Reality Reboot. We also can’t wait to try your dairy-induced recipes (whether they contain real cheese or not).

Stay cheesy,
The Cells Team
