Sancta 1.0 – Important Notice for Early Access Players
Hello, Sancta players!
The full release of Sancta is getting closer! If everything goes according to plan, the game will leave Early Access in late October, just before Halloween.
After nearly two years of development, Sancta has undergone major changes. The full version will feature three chapters, two different endings, new locations, puzzles, enemies, and significantly reworked gameplay mechanics.
Before release, however, I'd like to share two important updates.
Save Game Compatibility
Due to extensive changes to the inventory, game world, and saving system, save files from the current Early Access version will not be compatible with Sancta 1.0.
Players will need to start a new game after updating. Existing save files will not be intentionally deleted by the update, but the new version will no longer support them.
Steam Achievements
Steam achievements have now been added to Sancta. They will not be awarded retroactively for progress made in earlier versions. Players will need to meet the relevant requirements in the new version to unlock them.
I understand that starting over may be inconvenient for some players. However, the extent of these changes makes a fresh start the best way to ensure a stable and complete experience.
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Sancta since the early days of Early Access. Your support and feedback have been incredibly valuable throughout development.
I can't wait to share the completed version of Sancta with you!
