Anyone stuck at the grey loading screen with the black text, try clearing your cache and trying again. Will continue to search for a more reliable fix. Thanks folks for your comments.
For those who are stuck on the grey loading screen ("saved new enabled game..."), this is part of the loading issues that should be resolved soon. Thanks everyone for your patience.
@ffoursin, talk to Clyde to get the other clue. You may need to persuade him...
@Mozai: I was unable to repro this. Could you give me some more info? (Which dudes, which mutations?) Thanks!
@Halibut1980, I looked into this but I'm afraid it's not something I can do with the way my save system is set up :(
Graphics issue fixed (I hope), but it required uploading an entirely new version of the game. Please go to www.kongregate.com/games/deadhouse/dude-quest to play.

Clear your cache and reload, if you're still seeing this. Working on getting a more permanent fix. Thanks!
