Question for those still waiting on their playdate: when you push patches, is it safe to assume that playdate players will need to sideload a second time? No OTA updates for sideloaded games?
If so, will your saves carry over? (assuming this game has saves)
Viewing post in Conquest of Helios (Playdate) comments
If you already have the game sideloaded and there's an update, you will need to download it from wherever you got it (such as here at itch) and then sideload it again. No OTA like with season games. However, you could download it with your phone/PC, upload it to your Playdate account, at which point your Playdate will eventually get a notification for an update and download.
Saves carrying over is dependent on the developer. I try to make all saves backwards compatible so you don't lose any progress after an update, and this includes Conquest of Helios.
