Hi! In the beta, the game has trouble loading saves, and with timeskips. After loading a save, or preforming a timeskip, the game will refuse to let you skip time again, and either refuse to let you save again, or corrupt any save you make, so that when you load it, the camera is in the water, and the year is 0, and there is one of the goals from challenge mode showing, and you can't interact with anything.
Hey Boris, thanks for your report! Indeed, the game tries to do a save before a timeskip, so if the save is not working, so won't timeskips. I discovered yesterday that animals in the deep sea lead to corrupt saves (and thus problems you describe)... let me know if you of other things that lead to save problems!
