About the Recent Save Issues
Hello everyone,
First of all, we want to sincerely apologize to everyone who was affected by the recent save issues.
Losing progress in a game is one of the worst things that can happen, and we know how frustrating and discouraging it is. We are genuinely sorry.
After investigating the reports, and thanks to many of you who sent feedback and save files, we reworked a large part of the save system and added several layers of protection to make it much more resilient.
What has changed?
Improved save validation and corruption detection. Added additional safeguards when loading save data. Improved compatibility checks for save data after updates. Improved recovery when corrupted or invalid data is encountered, instead of letting it affect the rest of the save. Fixed several synchronization issues that could occur when switching between villages. These kinds of problems should now be much less likely to happen in the future.
If you lost your progress...
Please don't hesitate to contact me. If your save was significantly advanced and was affected by this issue, join our community Discord and send me a private message
We'll look at your save together and I'll do my absolute best to help you recover as much of your progress as possible.

A personal message
We are a very small indie team. While Alex is primarily a game designer rather than a programmer, this situation taught us a great deal about save systems.
They are far more complex than they appear, and this experience has helped us understand how to make them much more robust in the future.
We know this doesn't erase the frustration of losing progress, but we are sincerely grateful to everyone who took the time to report bugs, send their save files, and explain what happened.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your kindness.
Finally, we also want to thank every single one of you.
Since the release, your bug reports, suggestions, ideas, balance feedback, and quality-of-life requests have helped shape Glimvale into a much better game.
With Ilona, we say this often, but it really comes from the heart:
Thank you. Thank you so much for helping us improve Glimvale❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
We'll keep working hard to make it better every week ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
