fixedHas it really been two years? Time flies! One of the most-asked-for features for The Bottom of the Well has been to implement some way to save your progress, rather than having to start over from the very beginning every time. I was afraid it would be an insurmountable hurdle due to the way the game was designed, but it seems nothing is impossible. Although I can't be entirely sure it's actually working for everyone, so it'd be grand to get some testers. So, if you want to help, please try out our new checkpoint system in the Bottom of the Well Beta! To access the Beta, simply write in the super-secret code in the Preferences/Beta section of the game: keypadcodeis**** Where **** is a certain 4-digit number code that any old player of The Bottom of the Well will know and never un-know ;) [hint: if you've forgotten, you can probably find it in various walkthroughs] NOTA BENE: This update will remove the "Profiles" system entirely, so there will always only be ONE profile. It turned out to be too complex to make checkpoints work separately for each profile, and either way no-one really used it for anything! Other changes include: - Maybe fixed the elusive "I Live, I die, I live again"-achievement bug - Minor typo and formatting fixes here and there. - Some minor UI updates (+pretty new splash screen) - A brand new piece of music by Jussi Elsilä (you'll hear it towards the very end of the game) Future plans include: - Adding to and improving the ending. - UI overhaul. - Visual cues for when skills are checked and used.
