regarding saving and loading the game
Added 2025-10-16 13:55:42 +0000 UTChi all!
we've gotten a few comments about the save and load features not working. we of course went on and tested it, in short - it works as we intended, but we're also working on improvements.
in detail explanation on how the current save system works, issues, and planned improvements.
Autosave:
the game autosaves every time you click the "back" button to switch chats or go back to the main menu
the issue is when you are chatting with one contact for longer time, and force close the app. in that case, it will lose your progress, as you didn't click "back" and you force closed the app
solution: we will add autosave every 1 minute, so the longest period you can lose is 1 minute
the game autoloads the latest autosave every time you start the game - that works
Manual save:
manual save (the one in the drawer menu in the main screen) saves to a unique save slot. this one is if you want to save at a specific slot and load from there when you want to (that's the "load" button on the main screen)
if you don't make a manual save, and do a manual load, it will do nothing, as the save doesn't exist
if you quit the game and restart it, it will load the autosave, and not your manual save, as you need to do a manual load to load that one
solution: we will make a pop-up that will tell you all this in the game, to make it clearer.
itchio to patreon build
for some reason, saves from the first free itchio build can't progress to the new free build on Patreon
we can't fix this as it will require to change the build on itch
solution: we will upload the latest free patreon build to itchio, hoping they won't de-index us (for too long at least)
upgrading from the patreon free build to patreon Tier B build continues where you left off
