TRAILMARKERS Upgrade

Hello! Killigan's Treasure is truly a treasure of a game, and it's an unforgettable experience. I've kept playing it for a while until reaching the end of a certain build, and wanted to wait for a bunch of new content to release, therefore I stopped playing for nearly a year or so and picked the game back up. When I did, all my saves were permanently gone with no way I could recover them and I've had a lot of progress on my last playthrough, so knowing I couldn't keep the exact same data I've had when launching the game again really dissapointed me, a lot.


I wanted to request an upgrade for the TRAILMARKERS system, making it more efficient to accurately reach a point you've been in previously after losing your data. That way, it may feel like the save was never gone and your progress was never lost!


What I want TRAILMARKERS to be:


1. Giving you the ability to go through all choices that were made or outcomes that were done throughout the whole game up until the point you've reached before.


2. Letting you edit/adjust your inventory (selecting armor, items, tools and such which you had acquired), your stats and your currency according to the way they were (as far as you remember).


I'd highly appreciate if you make this feature into something better such as this, I'm sure it could help not only me but many others who've lost their save files or do not wish to go through the process of transferring data from one device to another. Thank you!

Howdy! While I appreciate the enthusiasm for the Trailmarkers system, there are no plans for it to be more extensive than it currently is (except for adding a "Killigan's personality" question soon, that's been a common request).

Your first point would require an EXTREME amount of extra effort to dig through the script for every single choice in the game, implement them into the Trailmarkers questionnaire-style system, deliberate upon certain edge cases or outcomes, and then probably miss at least a few if it were ever implemented.

Your second point is less extreme, but still goes against what the Trailmarkers system is intended to be.

If you lost your saves or had to switch devices since you last played, but want to catch back up fast without much fuss, that's what this system is intended for! It loads you into a pre-determined spot with a default setup for Killigan, with all story-necessary items obtained, and (optionally) puts you on the romance route for whichever partner you want to romance! It's also pretty handy if you want to check how a scene would've played out if you were romancing someone else, or just want to see what Killigan gets up to as a single man.

Long story short, the Trailmarkers system is more akin to a chapter select for KT than something like a built-in cheat engine. There are no plans to extend the functionality of the Trailmarkers system, because this already IS the quick catch-up system.

(I also recommend playing on a computer if you want to preserve saves, builds for mobile have been notoriously unreliable with retaining saves, especially after a new version releases)
