A New Save System and Better Info Management

Hey everyone!

Minor Update version 0.1.2.0 is here. So far it's been a journey of passion, coding, and a lot of caffeine, while I work on this in my personal time. Thank you again to those jumping in and supporting this game. You're all helping me keep motivated and stay on track.

Please note, with this update, I’m now introducing the new save system. As mentioned in previous announcements, this unfortunately means your previous saves will no longer be accessible. I understand this may be a bit of a bummer, but on the bright side, this is hopefully a one-off change, and I don't plan to make any more tweaks to this system. However, keep in mind that unforeseen issues might still crop up with future major updates. I'll be working hard to keep these potential issues to a minimum.

Also, I've made some changes to the Journal and Tablet. Now, the Tablet will be your go-to for all game-related information, and the Journal will focus on the main menu, Lore, and diary entries (which will be coming in a future update). My hope is that these changes make your navigation and information gathering a whole lot easier.

As always, your thoughts, questions, and feedback are always welcome. Feel free to share them via the Steam Community Hub or Discord. And should you encounter any bugs, please report them through the same channels.


[h3]Here's a quick TL;DR of what's new in Minor Update: 0.1.2.0:[/h3]
  • Rolled out a new save system. Please note, previously saved data will no longer be compatible.
  • Overhauled the Journal and Tablet. The Tablet will now be your primary source for all game info. The Journal will house the Lore and diary entries (available soon), plus a secondary main menu.
  • Tackled some optimisation for smoother gameplay.
  • Some minor bug fixes.

[h3]How's Chapter Two Going?[/h3]

I'm hard at work on Chapter Two. I might be getting a tad carried away with a little Easter egg in the game. In my defense, it'll help enrich the universe that much more.

The release date for Chapter Two has been nudged back slightly to September. However, I'll continue to provide monthly DevLog updates here on Steam so you stay in the loop. Currently, I'm only a month behind schedule, which keeps me fairly confident about staying on track for a full release in Q1 of 2024.

For another sneak peek into the upcoming chapter, just like how in Chapter One you could delve into a couple of books, this time you'll find some magazines to get your hands on. Here's a little taster:

[h3]Game Optimisation[/h3]

As I strive for an enhanced gaming experience, a key focus is improving the game's optimisation. However, I need your assistance in this endeavour. If you're encountering any performance issues, your feedback on your computer specs could prove invaluable. I've prepared a reporting form and would greatly appreciate it if you could spare a few moments to complete it.
