The game grew too large to be hosted directly on Itch, this version is hosted externally. I recently found out that the App does not support externally hosted files and it didn't tell me this until after this version was live. Downloading through the website still works.

Future versions will have their images compressed to keep the game under 1gb... Hopefully this will be a sustainable solution, because there isn't really another one.

Is there a way to move the saves to the new version? I don't want to start over every update.

The saves should be entierly compatible. On most systems they are stored in App data and automatically transfer between game versions. If they aren't for you, then you can manually move the saves from the save file in the old version to the new version.

I ended up doing this, and I can confirm that it works. Only problem it causes is that the desktop itch.io program shows 2 of each launching option. Worked by selecting the second, as I figured despite identical naming, it would be sorted that way. Have not tried to select the first one to see if both route to the newest version.

you could split the archives into bits that are smaller than 1gb. The players would then download all the necessary files (.z01 and .zip for example) into the same directory and unzip the main zip file (no idea how the desktop app would react to that though)
