"Ungate" has been transformed! The game now features save slots and badges to prove you've fully completed it!
I’m very excited to announce one of the most complex updates so far: the implementation of save functionality, along with badges that confirm you've finished the game.
At the same time, I want to thank those who bought the game at full price to support me; I am deeply grateful !
Following the transformation, the following have been implemented/adjusted:
Saves are available per level, but only on Explorer difficulty. Once a level’s saves are unlocked, you can replay that level without affecting the saves of other levels. However, once you advance to the next level, that level’s save will be overwritten with your current progress (e.g., replay level 1 and then move to level 2 – level 2 will now be saved with your new progress).
Once the respawn option is unlocked, Explorer difficulty also benefits from unlimited lives.
When loading a saved game, you will always start from a respawn point based on your last known position (Level 1 has 4 respawn points, while Levels 2 and 3 each have one).
On Survivor difficulty, there are no saves, and you must finish the game in a single attempt—but you'll have 3 lives per level once the respawn option is unlocked.
Surface respawn points now have different colors depending on the area:
Black color– the area that includes the cabin
Green color (The fountain of Life) – the area that includes the military base in the forest
White color (The fountain of Life) – the area that includes the swamp house
Red color (The fountain of Life) – the area that includes the dark temple
Badges can only be unlocked by completing the game on each specific difficulty.
In addition to the main implementations, sounds and player interactions have been adjusted, and the game has been re-optimized for better performance, especially on Level 1 (surface).
Optional: If for any reason you want to delete the saves directly from the game files, you can find them here: C:\\Users\\[YourUsername]\\AppData\\Local\\Ungate\\Saved\\SaveGames
Here you’ll find the save files divided as:
Badges.sav – can be deleted individually
Level_1.sav – can be deleted individually
Level_2.sav – can be deleted individually
Level_3.sav – can be deleted individually
Settings.sav – it is not recommended to delete this file unless you're also deleting all 3 level saves
I hope you enjoy all these implementations and have a smooth experience throughout the game. Thank you for your patience, and don’t forget to challenge your friends to finish the game !
Have a great day, everyone !
