Hey Folks!

Today, we've released our first hotfix patch for Amber Isle, which fixes a number of bugs since the launch of our shop management-sim last week! This patch also introduces automatic save backups to help you restore your save in case of any future softlocks.

Our whole team has been overwhelmed with the love and support you've shown for Amber Isle and we're happy to release this patch to address soflocks and critical bugs reported to Player Support over the past four days! 🧡

[h2]v1.0.1 Patch Notes[/h2]

• Fix: Accidental completion of region rating quests when loading a game.
  
• Fix: Adi grants the player additional items when crafting for first stocking of the shop.
  
• Fix: Quests saving in a broken state or continuing slightly as you return to the menu.
  
• Fix: Resources now can't be collected just before talking to Maple to stop the game locking.
  
• Fix: Player save file sometimes becoming corrupted when returning to the main menu or quitting the game.
  
• Fix: Issues where the game allowed you to enter the meadow or open the shop during the tutorial at an incorrect time causing the player to become trapped during various quests.
  
• Fix: Adi disappearing and not sleeping during "Where is Adi?"
  
• Fix: Mayor grants the player additional amber during the Ambience tutorial, allowing the player to purchase the required item.
  
• Fix: Issues where the Ambience Quest, Shop Ranking UI, and Mortgage Quest could all trigger at once locking the game.
  
• Fix: Issue where the shop would lock because a customer wouldn't approach the counter.
  
• Add: Save backups are now included in the save folder under a folder called "BACKUP", allowing roll back to an earlier save if needed.

[h3]⚠️ New save files can be overridden by previously deleted save files, causing a soft-lock[/h3]
Please Note: If you return to main menu, delete your save file, and create a new one in it's slot, your deleted save will override the new one, causing a number of issues.

To avoid this issue, after deleting a save, restart the game before creating a new save - this will not cause the issue to appear.
