A Directionless Cycle News

[h2]Cloud saving has been added to the game![/h2]
[h3]Please BACK UP your save-file just in case, you can do so by copying the file located in:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Half Sun Games/A Directionless Cycle. (Windows)

[/h3]
For steam Deck users, it should work fine?
I'm unsure if it'll collide with any PC saves, but make sure to back up in case. Thank you!

Also... Added a backup system! It should (hopefully) back up periodically into a backup folder, found next to the custom levels folder. This was added in case you'd like to revert your save-file, or somehow lost a recent save.

[h2]Bugfixes and changes[/h2]
Endgame spoilers ahead!

• Edited some move trials to make it less tedious to complete. (Around 1-2 extra buffer moves)

[h2]Here's a list of all the patches that have been pushed out since release, in chronological order.[/h2]

Spoilers! I can't classify them, so be careful yourself and don't click if you haven't beaten the game:

• W1-??? had a second "Path of light" (which did nothing).
  
• Achievement "Encoded" now triggers with its specific codes.
  
• Selecting up from W1-5 now selects W1-5.1 instead of W1-5.2 as a default.
  
• Added a settings button to the pause menu:
  
• • Ability to tweak SFX values.
• • Ability to tweak BGM values.
• Added hint text to "W3-7.1", I'll tweak that level in the future.
  
• Updated settings sound sliders to now say "Music" instead of "M"
  
• Removed a ghost block in ending.
  
• Fixed Shadow Step's hint level.
  
• W3-10 is now beatable with its purple star. (Sorry about that!)
  
• Changed Reunion's outside screen, now helps with a different puzzle.
  
• Your game will now default to 1920x1080 upon first booting up.
  
• Fixed an issue where red outlines (inverse indicator) wouldn't show up, visual bug.
  
• Increased undo cap to 1k moves. (Pretty much infinite)
  

Thanks again for playing! This has been a wild release week thanks to you all.
