Here is an update for the game, It's just a bunch of fixes.
Disclaimer
This ‘Traditional Style’ Sci-Fi RPG is a “Non-Profit” Fan Made game based on the events after the 1982 movie “The Thing” created by John Carpenter. It is in no way endorsed by John Carpenter or Universal Studios and shares likeness only in name. In my eyes it is the same as drawing a picture of a popular character and posting it online for all to see. I funded this game with my own money and I do not generate any revenue from ModDB or the ads displayed on my website (which I also pay for). If there are grounds for an issue with copyright then I am willing to take responsibility for that and make the appropriate changes where needed to resolve the issue. The Majority of the content (music, artwork, code) in the game is either licensed for use, originally created or credit is given where due for work used in ‘Free’ projects.

Thank you all for your support over the years. Please enjoy the game. If there is any feedback or bug reports please post them on this article or in the forums as I am more likely to see them and respond that way. On my website is an unlockables guide but if you get stuck or need help feel free to ask. You can also check Sadonrii’s channel for YouTube playthroughs of the game if you are stuck.
Also I have uploaded this save file that unlocks all the cheats for you straight from the start if you want to mess around in the game. (compatible with v2.5.2 release)
Good luck, Captain(s).
