And we have our first update!
This is a minor release aimed at fixing all known bugs, and adding any feature requests that were either extremely high priority or could be implemented with minimal fuss.
If someone could report that the DPI awareness fix works properly for them on Win8 that would be great. (Hopefully you shouldn't have to manually change your OS settings anymore.)
(Note: Supporter names are not yet in game--that happens in major versions, so expect to see them Alpha 2. If you haven't already, remember to use the form linked in your original download email to provide the name you want to use in game.)
To get the new version, use the download link provided in your original purchase email, and copy over your old settings files as indicated in the migration guide (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=11.0).

* NEW: Winning the game awards an additional 2000 bonus points to score
* NEW: Schematic info windows now indicate number of robots/items simultaneously produced, and required Fabricator level
