unfortunately yes. :( because I’m releasing the game in chunks, new versions have compatibility issues with saves made in older versions because of several things changed behind the scenes. That’s why I release each update with included saves to get all players to a point near the new content. My patrons also get access to a dev room that lets them skip to whatever part of the game they want. Sorry for the inconvenience! I’m glad you have enjoyed my game up until now! I appreciate your feedback!
