I played during version 0.1.0 (alpha demo), made some progress and made some save files. When I started the game after the bugfixes (0.1.1 & 0.1.2), I found that all my save files were gone. Has anyone else experienced this?

When downloading and unzipping the new version, you can copy the save folder from the previous version there to transfer your save data.

(Note that this only works with the alpha demo.)

I never had to unzip the game before. I thought that the save.zip was only meant to let you skip the prologue. When I downloaded v. 0.1.0 and started plying I had a save folder when I checked the game file, no unzipping required. When I came back after the update(s) the save folder was gone

The game itself is also in a zip file though? 🤔

The save folder indeed gets created after you save your game for the first time. I wonder if maybe you are downloading the game through an itchio app? In that case maybe it’s deleting the save folder after each update?

I would suggest to back up your save folder in a different location before updating, and then copy it back after the update. I hope that might solve your problem for future updates. 

That´s right. 

Ever since I got the itch client, I download all itch games through that, instead of a browser. I thought that method would be the least troublesome one, but I might be wrong about that. "In that case maybe it’s deleting the save folder after each update?" I think you are right, since that seems to be what have happened. That have just not happened with other Itch games.

Sorry if I am being difficult. I actually have a lot of positive things to say about the game, I just wanted to report a (potential) bug first.
