IMPORTANT

A version update with Gamemaker caused a change in the save directory of the game. You're saves from the previous version will work but require an adjustment to the save folder.

Here are the steps to fix it. 

1. Open Windows Explorer and paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\ into the address bar. Or manually navigate to the Local Appdata folder on your computer 

2. Find the save folder for E:DS the old save folder should be either Endeavore Dawn Seeker or Endeavore_Dawn_Seeker 

3. Rename the save folder to EndeavoreDawnSeeker 

That should get it to work. Let me know if you have any issues.

I do like the idea of weight having an impact on some things, but I don't want players who play without it to be left out so I try to keep such things fairly innocuous.
Maybe a ways in the future I'll expand the equipment system with crafting and modifying in such but it's not something I have any plans for at the moment.
The guide has needed a complete do-over for a long time now but I just keep putting it off and I apologize for that.

I'm trying to avoid adding any more player sprites for as long as possible as each type I add needs all the variations from weight gain, etc so it becomes a lot of work very quickly.

I am thinking about adding a simple struggle system but it's not going to be something as impressive as what you can find in Echidna Wars.

You can check out the weight gain options in the computer menu located in the Quarters section of the ship hub.

Did you change the 'data.win' file in the game folder? That's usually the cause of features being missing

The way the boss dies shouldn't matter at all, the thing that actually unlocks the next progress step is the teleporter after the boss. So if you had died/retreated/closed that would prevent the next world from unlocking.
So unless something really weird happened, I've got no clue why it wouldn't have worked for you.

Player prey is a future possibility that's in the cards but at this point I'm not sure when it's going to happen

That's strange, I don't get any issues with alt-tabbing and minimizing so I don't know why you would, sorry.

Sorry, could you be more clear on what's happening? Is it crashing when you alt-tab or minimize the window or something?

The full path is C:\Users\"YourNameHere"\AppData\Local\Endeavore_Dawn_Seeker

If you want to try manually navigating to it, otherwise I'm not sure what it could be

The Drive and Name would depend on your own computer

I'm guessing you mean "data.win"? That's game related, like assets and such so a text editor won't work.
If you're trying to edit saves you have to go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Endeavore_Dawn_Seeker in your file explorer, that's where they are

There's a little bit of WG already there, admittedly it doesn't go far yet, but I do plan on doing more.
You can enable it at the computer in the Quarters.

It's a possibility, but I don't know for sure or when I'll get to it

1. I hope to make more games someday but we'll see how that pans out
2. Yes, but I have a bit of backend stuff I need to change before I do anymore weight stages
3. Yes, save files are located at "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Endeavore_Dawn_Seeker" and are simple text files that you can change as you like. Though I recommend backing up your saves before modifying them to avoid breaking them.

Internals - pretty self-explanatory, changes the internals display in the bottom left.
Belly Size Scaling - Increases how much you need to have in your belly in order for it to change size based on your maximum capacity
Cut-Ins - Cut-ins are the images that pop-up when eating enemies
Companion - The companion is the little spherical robot that follows you around on missions
Hammerspace - A not very well implemented option that makes it so your belly doesn't change size as you fill it up
Bone Zone - Multiplies the amount of debris produced through disposal

I'm glad you've been enjoying the update, and thanks for your feedback.
The new bosses are a step up in difficulty, particularly in the amount of damage you take during the encounter. During my personal testing I did worry that they might be too much trouble, but after investing a few talent points into the more defensive choices, it became a lot more manageable, so I stuck with what I had.
I do want players to have to make an effort to get their defensives up instead of just stacking damage/vore stats. Some of the defensive capstone talents are REALLY strong, so I don't think it takes too much of a sacrifice to make the game a lot easier.

Yes, either download (ZIP or Installer) are the whole game. Saves are separate from the game so you can download the game again, launch it, and you'll have your old saves.

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Endeavore_Dawn_Seeker

Posting the above into windows explorer will take you to the save folder

Can't post patreon links in comments on Itch.io

Yeah, I never got around to doing that but I should have, sorry about that.

Unfortunately no, you need an Apple device to export the game to Mac OS and I don't have one.

There's a link to the Patreon on the main page

New update coming out soon

It'll take a lot of effort to get it to work on android and I think I'm a bit too far into it to consider at the moment. Maybe when I've 'finished' with the game I'll try and port it to android.

Not much longer now, I am going to do my best to get it out before the busy holiday period.

Sorry about that, should be working now. Sometimes when I update the invite link the text will change but the hyperlink won't and I don't really know why.

I do plan on adding a currency system where you'll be able to break down unwanted items and roll for new ones eventually.

New weight stages will have to wait until I redo how the player sprite is drawn as adding new variations (like weight stages) ends up requiring adding dozens (maybe 100+) of new sprites to the project.
Additional vore types are still something I'm considering but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high that they'll be anything very impressive. If I do add them it'll probably just be some kind of flavour change. Maybe things like new internals animations, different quotes and altered disposal sprites.

Ah okay, that makes sense, thanks for the report

Yeah, I've been trying to fix that one for a while, it seems to have quite a few things that can cause it, but I've never had it with a boss. Which boss did it to you

What did you set the keybind for disposal to?

1. Bodyswap swaps between the (FlatChest/Shorts) sprites and the (Breasts/Skirt) ones

2. Those options change the weight number underneath the calorie tracker. In Body + Belly mode, it shows the two numbers separately whereas in Total, it shows them added up as a single number

So, if you've got the Maintenance Calories extremely low when compared to the Maximum Calories, you'll very quickly gain weight while digesting enemies, but you'll also very quickly return to Maintenance Calories. Meaning you'll quickly start losing weight again.

There's a kind of scaling in effect that the further you are from your Maintenance Calories, the more quickly it'll change to try and get to that Maintenance level.
So very low Maintenance makes it very volatile, quickly gain and quickly lose calories.

If you want your weight to stick around, I'd recommend more balanced settings.
I personally use settings that make the bar look like this:

That's strange, with settings like the ones below, I can go from 60kg to 120kg in a few seconds.
Is the blue weight number in the top left below the bar not going up after digesting enemies?

No, there aren't any new ones in the 2nd planet 'yet.' Although I do plan on making some for the next update

Lowering your Maintenance Calories is the best way to make gaining weight easier. You can also reduce the Calories Loss Multiplier to make it even easier.

In the 'Quarters' area you'll find a computer (the thing with the face). Press the interact key while in front of it to open the computer menu. Weight gain controls are under 'Diet Control.'
The topmost option (Regulated/Unregulated) disable or enable weight gain.
Regulated = Disabled
Unregulated = Enabled
You can use the other settings in the menu to change how fast or slow you gain weight

Hope that helps

Much bigger and walking will be difficult
I might finally do the immobilization size for the next update though

Nope, nothing to worry about with saves. All versions save and load from the same place regardless of where you put the game.
If you have any trouble let me know.
