Quoting: KelsHow do I do this, given that 1.01 starts in a new folder? Do I copy something? I have no idea how saves are kept, so it's unclear what I need to do if I want to avoid replaying the whole game again up to that point.

Saves are in ~/.local/share/flare.

Oh, so it doesn't matter which instance of Flare I'm running, it'll default to the same save file. Handy!

Quoting: KelsIt's a pretty fun game honestly, but I got up to the puzzle with the 8 switches and I have no idea how to get past it but tedious trial and error so I gave up. There aren't much in the line of hints that I can see, and nothing to indicate when you get the puzzle partly right so you know you're on the right track.

A lot of people had problems with this puzzle, so I redesigned it for the next upcoming version, 1.01. The new puzzle better follows the logic for the previous switch puzzles in that area. The new version should go up sometime this weekend.

That sounds good. Will I need to replay the game up to that point with the new version, or what?

You won't need to restart in order to see the new puzzle.

Quoting: LinasUnfortunately it is stuff like this that gives Linux a bad reputation among game developers. Works fine on Windows, export to Linux and get all sorts of input, rendering, and performance issues. Except it is not Linux that's broken, but Unity.

On the other hand, Linux users are known for offering better feedback, detailed bug reports and suggestions for fixes than Windows and Mac users. They tend to know where the common bugs hide with regard to our systems and can tell devs encountering them for the first time where to look. So it balances out to a degree.

Getting stuck can be frustrating.
Can you skip through a youtube playtrough till you see that part and how to solve it ?

Is there one? I went looking for a walkthrough or hints but didn't find any. Didn't think to check YouTube.

But going by what the dev said, I'll wait and try the revamped puzzle instead.

Quoting: KelsThis looks good, but it makes me want to see more games that call back to the 32-bit era of the PSX and Saturn.

you mean the early polygon 3d games or the more colours sharper 2d games because i would love to see sharper 2d games i went through the 16 bit the first time this does look good and i am going to pick it up but as much as its fun to play the odd throwback, I would like some sharper looking games.

The 2D stuff mostly, although further on into the PSX's lifespan the 3D improved a bunch. And as much as I like chiptunes, I'd like to see retro styled games that don't always default to them.

So I assume if you've got the original, you'll be needing to buy it all over again?

Weird that For this and the Jumbo bundle my main interest is in the $1 tier. I've seen SOMA and I'm satisfied with that much, Keep Talking isn't really my thing and the same goes for SUPER HOT.

But Mini Metro and Halcyon 6? Yes, please. And Kingdom: New Lands from the other bundle while you're at it.
