Hey everyone,
We know losing your save files sucks and we completely understand the frustration. This is on us.
But here's the honest truth: the old save system had deep issues that would have caused much bigger problems down the line. On top of that, we're building the foundation for modding support, and the old system simply wasn't compatible with where we're heading. If we had waited to fix this later, the damage would have been worse. We made the tough call to do it now so you never have to deal with this again going forward.
This is exactly why the game is in early access, to catch these things early and fix them before they become permanent problems.
Since launch two weeks ago we've pushed a ton of updates, added new content, and fixed hundreds of bugs. We plan to keep that pace going, moving fast on fixes and adding new content as quickly as we can.
Thank you for not giving up on us during this process. Your Discord messages, in-game tickets, and feedback are genuinely shaping this game. The florist store, the baseball bat, store selling, these all came from you.
Bigger content updates are coming, and this reset was laying the groundwork for those. We needed a solid foundation before building on top of it.
We're sorry for the lost progress and the time you put in. We know it's not just a save file, it's your effort. We don't take that lightly.
