Unfortunately, yes, we noticed a small change to the save system impacted existing saves. We’re working towards fixing that permanently in updates going forward. Sorry about that! 

Games in development are tricky when it comes to backward save compatibility.

we appreciate the support :) Glad you're enjoying it so far!

you will have to download the update when it’s posted. The game does not update itself.

you got it, it’s a typical 1-month behind release schedule. 

yes it will, 1.1.3 will be released for Patreon and 1.1.2 will be released here on Wednesday May 27th

There’s a fish monger in Baitmouth who will trade the voucher for a tasty dish ;)

turns out anyone who’s jumping straight from the original demo release (v1.0.2) to the latest- will need to restart saves. When we built the save anywhere feature in v1.1.0 we changed how saves work.

that is very strange! Please reach out to me on discord ( medwyn_ ) as I’d like to troubleshoot with you on this. 

Save files are stored in your user profile directory, not with the EXE file. So even if you update the EXE and use a newer version - it should pull the same save files from your profile

On windows this is %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Overworked\saves

So we ran a bunch of testing across a few different versions and Android devices- we couldn’t get the issue to happen. Our saves were intact every time we upgraded. Not sure what happened with your experience but hopefully it doesn’t happen again!

I’ll test that out! Thanks for letting us know.

Not yet! Stay tuned ;)

It shouldn't - which platform are you playing on? (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, SteamDeck?) We'll add in some extra testing to make sure that existing saves are preserved. The only time I can see this happening is if you're on Android and you uninstall the game before installing the latest. If you remove the game then yes - all save files will be removed with it. If you download the latest APK it should just update the existing one while preserving your saves.

Thanks so much for the helpful step-by-step instructions! I’ll put this on our main page as well.

Appreciate it!

It is, and we simply don't have the budget for it. We do have a MacOS version posted now though and in our testing it worked just fine on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

MacOS version has been posted, enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback! We are definitely having a look at our save system and hope to have a much better solution for players to make saves more frequently.

For the mini games: at this time we don’t plan to implement a skip option. While the game primarily presents itself as a VN right now, we’re aiming for more of a click-and-explore type story which lends itself to more interactivity than just reading and following the story. The games and how well the player performs them will have an impact on the story.

We hope you decide to stick around and enjoy the rest of the game as it’s built, but if it’s not something that appeals to you- that’s OK too. 

Well fair enough, glad it’s working and you’re enjoying it!

It depends! Are you running on a fairly new device or an older one? We tested with a few phones and tablets and didn't note anything running slowly - but obviously the Android ecosystem is fairly vast. Older devices may take a bit more time to load and unload things.

glad to hear you’re enjoying it! We are looking into how we handle saves. Stay tuned for updates!

We’re looking into Android support! Stay tuned!

The EXE file is created by compiling the Godot Engine with Embedded PCK - there are reports of Godot games being flagged as false positive in virus scanners. We assure you we did not develop a virus.

ah! once you meet the neighbors outside the apartment, you can head back to Hoss' room and get some sleep to move to the next day

head out the door and talk to Matt lounging on the couch ;)

We are looking into this! Stay tuned!

Wow apologies for the super late reply on this one.

Engaging Destiny takes place in a world known as Talestrios and there are a few other stories that tie into Engaging Destiny in one way or another. Endless Bounty (https://dynewulf.itch.io/endless-bounty), Tales Of Lorithel: Bonds of Royalty (https://dynewulf.itch.io/tolbor), and Eternal Endeavor (https://dynewulf.itch.io/eternal-endeavor-demo) are all set in the same universe. If you look closely enough, you might even catch some cameos from these titles in Engaging Destiny itself :)

Glad you enjoyed ED! Stay tuned to future games that take place in the same universe.

Thanks for all the wonderful feedback! Sorry to hear you were having issues with the Itch download - generally only folks going through the Itch Client application will experience issues. A direct download in your browser from the itch page should be working just fine. Anyway - glad you are enjoying it :)

Happy to hear you enjoyed the game! Sorry the ending was so unexpected, the story we wanted to tell about Calen coming to terms with himself and his feelings for Warrick was the main focus and we feel we addressed it pretty well. We haven't talked about direct sequels for Engaging Destiny but you never know what the future might hold. There will be more titles set in this world so Calen & Warrick may pop up in another entry.

Thanks for the feedback!

The order you find the cats doesn't matter, but he's definitely in Northern Faranel - try climbing ladders and looking in high places!

the script file has to be put in the same directory as Engaging Destiny.app -> do not put it inside the .app but just in the same directory as the .app file itself

If you are still having issues, please come find me on Discord ( @ medwyn_ ) and I'll try to help out.

Hello!

The launch game script needs to go one folder above where you are putting it. It should be in the same folder as the .app but not not inside the .app.

I hope that makes sense, if not, please come find me on Discord ( medwyn_ ) and I’ll help out.

That's so weird! From the screenshot you sent it's almost like you tried showing Garret the soap? We'll have a look at this and see if there's a bug hiding there we need to fix. Thanks for letting us know!

This seems to happen if you are using the Itch app. Please try downloading it directly from Itch and unzipping it.

Hey there!

Yeah something is up with apple silicone type chips and how they handle overlay graphics with Apple metal API available in Unity. It’s been super hard to figure this one out as we don’t have any M type Mac’s to test or develop with. It’s not likely we will be able to address this anytime soon, but if we do get a fix for it- we’ll put it up as soon as we can!

Nope! All the demos have been updated as well so you get a good test of what the full version will be like.

Hello! I picked up your save file and tried running it - I can't seem to reproduce the massive slowdown you have mentioned here. Everything seems to be running fine on my end. Please reach out to me on discord (medwyn_) and we might be able to poke at this a little more to see what's going on there. Meanwhile, would you mind sending me over your PC specs? Curious if you are running something a little under powered and ED might not have the resources it needs.

Sorry to hear that you got stuck! We'll take a look.

Wow that's super weird! We haven't seen that before - I suspect a corrupted download? Can you delete what you have downloaded and try again?

Good stuff! Garret definitely has a lot of great stories to tell ;)
