a comment for XianGrim (thanks for working on this awesome game!)

One cause I found for the black screen is a save in an older version (0.1.5.3 hotfix), where the save was in the beach, and, as you know, that was changed in the newest (free) version (0.1.7.1). I know data such as exp and save location translated to the newer version since that’s what happened to me. It is possible that the new version is trying to look for the save but cannot find it because it was changed.

I’m not sure if this is the case for Android, as I am on windows.

I'm of the opinion its our fade mechanic. Due to the UI sitting in front of this black screen, the only thing I can think of that would do that is the fader. The fact that you can hear the sounds tells me the game should be playing. We're exploring options for a test of this.

The save system is pretty simple, if it can't find any data, it just creates a new data type for it. I didn't create it and we might end up refactoring the whole thing. Its not a bad system, its just complex enough to be annoying to work with imo. 

if im not mistaken, and maybe I am if i remember right, I swear i deleted the save game in the public version and it ended up also deleting the save in the patreon version too
