**Web version's save/load uses browser cookies, which can get cleared. It is not hugely reliable, as well as not likely to be compatible with future web versions, unlike the downloadable version.
**Beware of food and injury consequences are now active. As a transitional arrangement, until more core features are introduced, if you have less than 1 food, load game will offer you 99 pieces of food.
As usual, to reuse your save, you must rename your newly downloaded file same as the one you saved your game, as well as putting it into the same directory of your previous file.

Things didn't work out with a new artist, basically nothing was delivered. A special thanks to Renze and Lewd K to handle tasks urgently. In project management speaking, many assets of ours require linear procedure, meaning one task has to be finished before another can begin. There are still some room that we can optimized, but in the end, a delay from one can cause complication on the schedule. I will still have to keep looking for a new artist, which is the only way to optimize our production process.
There are a few potentially new crew members joining us, including a motion designer and a writer. I still haven't gotten all their info, perhaps I should announce their joining next month in a more official manner.
