The Save Point Update

major update

The Portsmoor Abysm · published · build 25421970

This release introduces save points, a feature which many have requested, and which is a major step forward for the game! Save points further improves the emphasis on puzzles by minimizing the need to repeat part of the level which you've already figured out.

  • You can create a save point at any time that the game is settled (this mostly means that nothing is actively falling or exploding)

  • If you die, or use the regular restart functionality, you go back to the save point rather than to the start of the chamber

  • You can updated the save point at any time, though only a single one is saved at a time

The save point feature has been carefully designed and tested, and I think it works well, and really fits with the rest of the game. It is however a major feature with significant complexities, and if you find any problems, please report them to me!

Besides this major new feature some other work has been done:

  • Various text snippets have been improved

  • Occasional overlay flickers have hopefully been eliminated

  • Some minor bugs have been ironed out

I hope you're enjoying the game, and that you'll like this new release!
