• Fixed Save File Backup system

The game will now periodically create backup save files in your save folder. In the event that you lose your save file, you can manually restore using a backup save file.

Here is how to restore a backup save:

1. Quit the game
   
2. Navigate to \Users\[yourname]\AppData\LocalLow\Little Flag Software, LLC\Neon White\[YourSteamID]\
   
3. If you have a file savedata.dat, rename it to something else just in case.
   
4. Open the \Backups\ folder
   
5. Copy the most recent DAT file
   
6. Paste it into the \[YourSteamID]\ folder
   
7. Rename it to "savedata.dat"
   
8. Launch the game

Based on initial feedback, it seems like the game is MUCH too hard, so that is being addressed here. It is intended to be only moderately difficult in the current state, and will eventually have some difficulty scaling options for extra challenge.

Changes:

-Enemies are now significantly dumber across the board
-Added new shop art
-Fixed a bug that would slow down time when the player presses certain number keys(leftover artifact from development cheat codes).

Fixed Unity's "trial version" bug.

Where did it come from?
Who knows.

Is it gone for good?
We can only hope.

This patch contains some cool visuals & more transcendence upgrades - the next content update is scheduled for next Wednesday, but I'll try to get the missing 3 kings content out by the weekend ahead of it.

Your station upgrade tiers will now appear as visual changes on the game screen*!
*special conditions may apply; graphic assets for each tier offered only while supplies last; consult your local upgrade on whether visuals are available for your current tier

All station branches in the transcendence skilltree have received a second section of upgrades located behind their crowns, hooray!


TRANSCENDENCE SKILLTREE COST ADJUSTMENTS
STATION BRANCHES: Start cheap and increase considerably > Start cheap and increase considerably more
CONTROLS BRANCH: Cheap > Cheaper

ARCHERY SKILLTREE
Costs shifted away from max time multiplier and into the nodes that make each other a billion times more powerful if you have 80% of them at the same time and you really shouldn't be getting that in the early game and that really breaks things and *BREATHES* go buy those discount upgrades

• Fixed bugs that didn't make it to the live version. You weren't there, you wouldn't get it.

Thanks for playing & have fun!

• NPC dialog box improvements.
  
• General fixes and optimizations.

Just a quick update to balance Thor AP amount and to address Windows 7. Please note that officially Windows 7 is not supported and will never be. I will try my best to keep it compatible as long as I can, but eventually the day will come for us to let it go.

• Decreased Thor AP recover to 1
  
• Made some changes internally to fix Windows 7 issue (Experimental)

Ahoy!

On release, I had a lot of complaints from players about bugs and crashes.
As I said, I aim to have a bug-free experience as soon as possible.

I added a form of logging in this version.
I also added code guards to multiple actions in the game so that we can catch errors when they happen and log them

IMPORTANT: If the game crashes, definitely report it and attach the log file, which is simply a '.txt' file created by the game that will tell me more about what caused the problem.
To find the logs, go to the game folder then to "assets/data/Logs" and find the latest log (should look like 2022-07-14_02-34-51.txt).

- Fixed sound and full-screen mode not being saved.
- Fixed some more issues with the game resolution (full-screen is still in beta; please report any issues with it!)
- Fixed invalid discord button link
- Fixed (possibly) multiple crashes. I added some extra code guards to prevent crashes from happening, or at least see what the problem is (see Logging above)
- Fixed some loading screen messages overlapping with the logo

Cheers!
Dave
