Oops! For, uhm, reasons... custom characters weren't properly saving or loading on some people's setups. We just banged out a patch to fix that so make sure when you start the game you see the version number 1.059.02 (or above) under the 'Future Love Space Machine' logo on the main title screen.
Thanks so much for your patience while we sorted this out!
