Immortal Life News

Hello cultivators, are you taking good care of your farms?

Another day starts, your farms look beautiful, your foxes are well-fed and with shiny fur, and another major update is ready for you to download!

You might already know about the content of this update, it’s the same from the alpha branch but translated and integrated into the main branch for everyone to play. Although there’s one difference: we fixed the Steam Deck saving problem. BUT, please be careful, it worked when we tested it but might be different on your devices. Be extra careful when doing it and pay attention to the saving messages, try to save frequently in the beginning and if everything is alright, then go ahead and play normally.



[h2]HOW TO PLAY ON STEAM DECK[/h2]
In order to have the Steam Deck saving files you have to follow these steps:
1*. This step needs to be followed just if your main saves are on the Steam Deck, not on any computer. Make a copy of your save files before uninstalling the game. If you don’t know where it’s stored, follow these steps:
> Switch your Deck to Desktop Mode.
> Open Steam, go to your library and search for Immortal Life.
> On the main Library menu that appears on the left side of the screen, do right-click (L2) > Manage > Browse local files.
> Copy the folder “SavesDir” and copy it somewhere safe. You’ll need to repeat this process after reinstalling the game to place the “SavesDir” you just copied on the new folder after the reinstallation process.
2. Delete the game from your Steam Deck and install it again.
3. Before opening the game make sure that the saves on your Deck are synchronized with the Steam Cloud. You can do it on Properties > General > Steam Cloud > Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud for Immortal Life.
4. Play normally and test if the saving is working on your device!

Hello cultivators!

It’s been a while since we last talked. We’ve been busy, working on our latest patch, and we’re super happy to tell you that Update 0.9.02 has an Alpha we will soon be rolling for all of you to try out. The most significant piece of news? Controller support! Finally, you’ll be able to play Immortal Life with your favorite controller, but there’s a ton more content and stuff coming on this new update like new personal stories for some characters and new missions for the main quest.

Please, keep in mind that this alpha update will be available to those that download it on purpose and that it won’t have English or Japanese support. To enjoy the final version, you will have to wait just a little bit longer, while we polish all the bugs and refine the overall experience later.

Without further ado, here’s a list of changes:

[h2]HOW TO JOIN THE ALPHA BRANCH OF IMMORTAL LIFE [/h2]

[h3]Step 1: For your safety, start backing up your save files! [/h3]

This is the most important step as the files of the Alpha branch that will be saved in your Cloud storage will replace those you saved locally, damaging them permanently in the process. To prevent this, disable the Cloud Saving feature and visit the following path to copy the folder with your local saves to another safe location in your computer. Don’t switch to the Alpha test before taking this step.

Save Path: [Steam Library Path]/common/一方灵田/SavesDir/[A folder with numbers in its name]

[h3]Step 2: Switch the branch from your Steam library [/h3]

1. Right-click Immortal Life in your Steam Library.
   
2. Choose Properties…
   
3. Choose BETAS tab in the Properties menu.
   
4. Enter the code, zhongtian2022 and click Check Code.
   
5. Click the select button and choose alpha – alpha test to activate the new branch.
   
6. You want to switch back? No problem, click the drop-down menu again and choose none – it will take you back to the Default branch.
   

We hope that you’re as excited as us! And those of you who don’t speak Chinese, please wait patiently. We’ll be working on integrating the new content on the main build of the game!

Thank you for staying with us!
