It's an issue with load and saves games I guess, I hope it' s fixed in the new build, I have refactored almost the whole game. Anyway, thank you for report any issue you found.
About locations, I want to add another town, quarry, blacksmith, abbey, small castle and big castle but I would like the story is progressing between locations and not needing all the areas at the same time. We'll see what I'm implementing finally, and again thank you for your feedback about this subject too.
About framerate performance, did you try full screen without any recorder software running at the same time? You should reach much higher framerate, even people without GPU can play it so you should have higher framerate. Be sure also the game is using your GPU and not your integrated GPU. Force the game to use the GPU if needed.
The day for the final release is far but any feedback is more than welcome and it will make the game better. If you are interested in the development, you can check the YouTube channel where I uploaded more than 1000h of live development: doing models, shaders, textures, code, UI, sounds, ... I did everything that you see in the game.
Thank you for your interest in the game and for your kind words.
