fixedDEMO UPDATE:View on Steam So, while I fixed the problem a while ago, I believe it was still present in the free demo, so players bringing their game from the demo could still encounter the bug.
fixedOther BugsSeveral other bugs have been identified and fixed. One major bug has been addressed but I am not quite sure if it is fixed or not, so I will be asking for feedback from players.
fixedNightgaunt IssuesThere was a certain circumstance in which having a Nightgaunt take you to a dungeon could reset that dungeon's map. I believe this is resolved. I was able to reproduce the issue, and implement a fix that stops it from happening. It's possible there are other situations that could produce a similar result, but I was not able to find any.
changedMealstrom IssueThe Maelstrom would not show the correct text in the archive in roguelike mode.
changedBetrayal IssueThe game will warn you if you are about to betray an alliance. I loved the idea of having the actual button change to "betray" instead of combat, but stealth can also trigger a betrayal event, so it did not make sense to change both buttons to "betray." Instead I just put a warning in the action log with a sound, giving player notice that they might be breaking an alliance.

Other Bugs

Several other bugs have been identified and fixed. One major bug has been addressed but I am not quite sure if it is fixed or not, so I will be asking for feedback from players.

Nightgaunt Issues

There was a certain circumstance in which having a Nightgaunt take you to a dungeon could reset that dungeon's map. I believe this is resolved. I was able to reproduce the issue, and implement a fix that stops it from happening. It's possible there are other situations that could produce a similar result, but I was not able to find any.

Mealstrom Issue

The Maelstrom would not show the correct text in the archive in roguelike mode.

Betrayal Issue

The game will warn you if you are about to betray an alliance. I loved the idea of having the actual button change to "betray" instead of combat, but stealth can also trigger a betrayal event, so it did not make sense to change both buttons to "betray."

Quicksave and Quickload Temporarily Disabled - Feedback Request

Sorry about this. I got feedback from a player who had been using these commands often, and somehow all their game data got deleted. I never use quicksave or quickload, I just got used to using the menu, and I have never encountered this, so my suspicion is that quicksave and quickload are somehow responsible.

Have you encountered any issues with quick-save or quickload? Do you use them a lot? Have you lost game data before?

I think (and maybe hope) the problem may have been caused possibly by something outside of the game ... maybe a power surge or general issue with the player's computer, but it's entirely possible there is a bug I am just unaware of.

I tried spamming quicksave and quickload, but I was unable to produce any similar errors. Maybe I am just not hard enough on my games when I test them. I know that is a thing I have. But if anyone out there wants to be really mean to the game and spam quickload/save, I would be grateful if you could provide how, when and where the game fails to save data correctly.
