October 15: partial Skipping Stones progress loss

The October 15 update bumps the first Skipping Stones level’s version to correct problems introduced in October 14 r67121. The developer warns that an existing partial save loses progress within that one level. Other game progress is unaffected, and a first level already completed or never started is unaffected according to the notice. Keep an untouched backup; the announcement supplies no method to restore that lost partial progress.

October 17: reset regression remains open

The developer says October 16’s update can leave Reset failing to restore a level correctly. Its temporary workaround is Undo all the way back to the start, after which Reset should work. Long levels may need substantial undoing; the note promises no recovery of lost progress. Kingy has not tested this workaround.

The October 16 r67255 update addresses crashes or oversized save files after repeated resets following a pushed rock or redirected river. October 17 r67271 separately corrects a missing lily and transmutation/quit/re-entry character-switch failures. Do not treat these notes as verification of every older recorded route.

Content expansion

The June 19 update added the Bard and Druid to the demo’s hero set. The official post also adds overworld areas and content showing worlds merging. A guide written for the earlier demo may therefore be incomplete even when its individual observations remain useful.

Technical beta

The July 10 demo technical post documented performance options and audio controls on public-testing. No later demo technical post appears in the official feed checked October 12. Its historical branch instructions do not establish current availability or full-game behavior; record the branch and build when reporting a bug.

Next verification priorities

October 12’s first update fixes a final-freezer completion blocker, awards missing demo achievements on load and changes wizard overworld behavior; use Undo if that change leaves the character inside a wall. The later update tentatively fixes E_INVALIDARG on Proton. Numeric game version, save transfer and current puzzle-route recovery remain unconfirmed; the existing walkthroughs retain their June footage scope.

October 14 full-game update

The update fixes bad checkpointing in a Bard/Thief/Endpoint Beam level and the second Skipping Stones level, an exploit in the third Skipping Stones level and an early Mirrors and Stones level, and a solution cascading into a bad checkpoint in Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes. It also adds a missing trader companion to a mirror level. These names do not identify every room in the June demo atlas.
