Will my demo progress carry over?
Yes. If you played during Steam Next Fest, that build is fairly similar to what we’re releasing today and those save files will work fine. There have been some minor changes (items moved around, dialogue changed, etc.), but you shouldn’t have any issues taking that save and continuing on from there.
If you played a version of the demo older than this recent Steam Next Demo, you will have the option to go ahead and try to use your existing save slot, but I highly recommend just deleting your old save and starting a new one in this case. Both because you’ll want a refresher on what you were doing exactly, but also because a lot might have changed since you last played and it might cause weirdness in your save file.
Where are the Steam Achievements?!
Steam Achievements are coming! And don’t feel the need to wait, your progress is all being stored in your save file, so when the Steam Achievements get implemented, your progress with them will be registered. I hope to get these all wrapped up very soon, but I didn’t want to rush it for launch. I’m not an achievement hunter myself, so I’ve been trying to get as much insight from others as possible to make sure the achievements are a fun and worthwhile addition to the game that will help give you a reason to dive back into the game for more after finishing the main story.
How do I play the Cassette Tapes / Music Tracks I’ve found in Slumberland?
First off, if you’re finding these, nice work! These tend to be hidden fairly well throughout Slumberland, so you’ll need to be keeping a close eye out for secrets to find them. The bad news is, the in-game music player isn’t quite ready yet. This was something I was hoping to get in for launch, so I went ahead and made sure all the cassettes were in place in the world, but I need just a bit more time before I get the music player in the game. Expect this in an update very soon and when it’s live, you’ll be able to listen to any of the Music Tracks you’ve already collected. Sorry for the delay on that.
How long will the launch discount last and will the demo stay available?
The 10% launch discount will last for 7 days. The demo will also stay up during this period, but if you’re interested in checking out the game, please do so this week because I will also probably be taking the demo down at the end of the first week. As I continue to update and patch the game, keeping the demo up to date is no small task for a single person. So please play and consider purchasing Little Nemo sometime this week!
