I am pretty convinced the saves are working, if you have a specific report, please share, but 300+ people in discord are not reporting issues with saves. Unless you are in Android, you might have to load a couple times in that case, and testing wasn't as extensive. Yes I'll be adding more workers, but you might get luckier by downloading mods in discord, they add multiple characters and they are made by users. Characters level up skills by using them and they level up by accumulating successes in multiple skills.
Glad you liked it :)
