January 22 Update Rolled Back, MASSIVE Apologies For Lost Saves, New Save Recovery Program

A small update we released a few days ago was apparently deleting people's saves. Whoever has played the game since the update on January 22 has lost their save files. This is a deep apologies from the team.

We just released a January 26 update for Windows that mimics the January 7th update. The Mac version was rolled back to the January 7th update directly.

WE ARE ALSO OFFERING TO CREATE SAVES BASED ON EARNED ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THOSE AFFECTED! FRIEND ME ON STEAM AND I WILL SEND YOU RECOVERED SAVES!

This is a new low for us and we sincerely apologize for the screwup. You have every right to be mad, and I will do what I can to fix this. Please friend me and I will give you saves with restored progress. It's a good thing that Steam achievements are a thing, at least.

We will fix almost all damage caused to customers and ensure that this won't happen again.

EDIT: Note that it is not possible for me to recover scores and statistics, only the unlockable content.

Expansion Announced: Trials

The poll we submitted about a month ago concerning the Earth Overclocked free expansion is now a very close split between the two modes, Trials and Endless Dungeon. Chronicle Bench will now break the split.

EXPANSION THEME: TRIALS
The Earth Overclocked free expansion will feature a brand new mode called Trials, which puts the player in a variety of different preset combat scenarios. We will reveal more information about the mode over time, but the expansion will also feature some extra goodies.

BEFORE THE EXPANSION...
Before we work on the expansion, there are two major problems with Earth Overclocked right now that we want to address: some issues with the game that have been brought to our attention, and the lack of a Linux port. Expect a few updates in the near future to improve Earth Overclocked based on feedback. At the same time, we will be trying to get Earth Overclocked working on Linux.

THE CORRUPT SAVE PROBLEM
We are aware that the game cannot save your progress properly on a small group of machines, making the game practically unplayable for this group of users. We are working on a solution to this problem. For now, if you experience the bug (you will get either an error about data structures or a corrupt save message on game startup), you are encouraged to refund the game.
