So, wait, how does that work? I have both zips downloaded and extracted. Do I stick the new EXE into the old folder? I have little to no knowledge on this sort of thing. Awesome to get a response from the dev though. Great game (I'm sure you've heard).
Edit/Update: I tried (in copy versions of everything to be safe) to copy the old EXE into the new folder and run that. I believe that this worked. Anything else I should consider or is this the entirety of the recommended solution?
