Underlaying Engine upgrade

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Greetings everyone,

It's been quite a while since my last update. Life's circumstances have kept me away from working on the game, but finally, I found the time to make progress in the past few days.

In particular, I focused on a long-overdue task: upgrading the underlying Unity engine. This change should enhance the graphics and pave the way for future improvements.

With that in mind, I invite you to test the updated version, now available as a beta called "engine-upgrade." Here's how you can access it:

  1. Right-click on the game name in your library and select "Properties."
  2. Go to the "Betas" tab.
  3. Choose "engine-upgrade" from the options.

If you have the time and patience, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give it a try. Your feedback will help me identify any issues with it.

Please note that this upgrade will bring changes to how save files are handled, rendering old saves incompatible. The same goes for soul essence. To compensate for any losses, the game will grant you some based on your achievements.

If you prefer to continue playing with your old saves, you can still do it as they are not removed. You have the option to use either the current game version or the "old-save-compatible-beta" version to load them.

I'm hopeful that this upgrade will enable me to add more content and address some existing issues in the game going forward.

Wishing you a fantastic time exploring!

Best regards,
GW
