Greetings, the Dethroned!
This highly requested functionality is finally here. Sorry to keep you waiting!
The update brings part 1 of roadmap's Update 1, which is mid-run saves (saving during a game). We decided to split Update 1 to give you this feature as soon as possible because it was the most requested thing.
Now, whenever you quit via the Pause ('Esc') -> Quit, the game will save and can be continued later. A new 'Continue' button will then appear in the main menu. Remember that the roguelike "rules" are applicable, which means: you cannot load an old save; when you lose, you need to start over; starting a new game replaces the last save.
The game now also auto-saves after battles, so you are covered in case of crash/power loss/etc.
Keep in mind that the map can get really big and there are a lot of variations that could happen, so you might find some issues/differences after loading a game. Please let us know (on Steam forum or Discord) if you encounter such a thing.
Other than that we've sneaked in a few smaller bug fixes (eg. Covetwing taking more money than he should if you clicked the button more than once while in the replace artifact mode), but this update is focused on the saves.
Enjoy!
