Patreon build - Save System update
Added 2023-01-26 12:44:50 +0000 UTCHello!
I'm posting this, to update you all on the current situation with the Patreon demo build and save system issue we've been fightning for past couple of days.
We have had a big issue in the early Patreon build where the progress was getting messed up after the game was updated. All crystals previously collected were showing up again as well as breakable objects were coming back. Along the respawning objects, the game was also getting stuck in a 10 minute loading screens after patches were rolled out. Obviously this was not intended and we had no idea what caused this issue.
After extensive testing here we have reached out to our awesome Patreons to ask for help with even more testing. Thanks to their huge support and relentless testing (some people were replaying the game over and over again multiple times, downloading patches etc.) we have managed to find the suspected cause of the issue and after couple sleepless nights and days of constant grind we have managed to fix the issue! (At least according to the most recent tests we have done.)
At this point as I'm writing this, I've tested multiple builds and patches and the issue appears to be fixed, however to be absolutely sure the problem isn't there, we will be updating the Patreon early build on steam in next few days. Those who have access, will have to clear their saves one final time hopefully and from then any new patches applied to the game should work without resetting your progress.
I'm hoping that the issue is fully resolved however we will need more than just few people to test this. I wanted to say massive thank you to 1-H who has been at it tirelessly and managed to rework some parts of the saving system that were causing the issue, I also wanted to thank all of you, the Patreons for constant support and help with testing, if it wasn't for your help, we would probably be stuck with this problem for longer. I will let everyone know once the build is updated on steam, thanks again!
