If you can, join the discord and upload your save in the bug report channel.
I might be able to restore or fix your save.
Eh, don't worry about it. Like I said, I don't mind re-doing saves and such. I'm an AVN player who likes to explore all the threads and that means restarting A LOT! So, it's awesome you'd do something like that for me, but I wouldn't want to take any time away from your development progress.
Keep plugging away. I'll let you know when I run across issues and report them.
I'll look to join the Discord Channel.
