Perfect time for an update. Just got done last night getting my entire party killed. Ok, didn't get my entire party killed, but all I had left was a teenager and a child on the third ridge.

Jsymes, thanks for letting me know about that.  I am thinking the same thing, that possibly the snow man fault is showing you an item being carried by a still hidden person, but it's just a guess.  I'll jot this bug report down so that next time I'm working on the Paw prints code, I can try to figure out why it is happening.

nice to come across this. Hope you're well Aprone. Is you skype still active?

I beat it!!! It took me 69 days, I lost 6 of my party (5 to starvation), and unfortunately my only child died after busting a leg when I had no splints for ages. I was on baby steps and ended up with a final score of 2903.

Oh definitely! I think that was my sixth or seventh try. Can't imagine trying to play it on harder levels, it would almost be unwinnable I'd think. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the challenge, and can't wait until I manage to beat it and get the longer story. Thanks again for another great game!

i think, the main problem on baby steps is the large group, which never has enough food to feed everyone. but it's still interesting imo. i played on baby steps a few days ago, and only two persons made it through.

Jsymes, yes eventually that extended ending is going to tie in to another game.  Don't forget Daytona, which is also part of the Castaways universe, haha.

Hey Aprone, had a bit of a question about the religion system. It's clear that you want us to try each religion out, but to be perfectly honest, I really haven't noticed too much different when I play on each one. So what I guess I'm wondering is whether the game expects a specific religion all the time, and the goal is for us to figure it out, or whether the game makes a random choice for the correct religion? Obviously, if a specific one's expected, I don't want to know what it is, I'll just have to keep trying.

as i understand, you actualy don't choose a religion in the start menu. it's the game choosing it. it only shows there which ones it has. and during the game you guess what it picked.
yeah, i decided to take a look at the changelog. it has something about fixing the bug when you get more building materials instead of using it as you improve your camp. sad, but no, the bug isn't fixed, and the game is still able to become more hardcore

Hey Aprone, think I discovered a bug. I completed a game, then immediately started a new one. While examining and dropping items, I came across one called gameovervictory. I saved a copy of the game for you. When I completed the day after this save, the game informed me that I'd won. How best to send you this saved game? I have you on my Skype, can email it, whatever works best for you.

Darth scorp, I'm glad you made it into the city!  I also laughed out loud when I read that your person died of exhaustion right as he reached it!  ROFL!!!  I agree those city citizens must have been so confused!

Hi there,

I know this game is not very new but I discovered it very recently and I absolutely like it, exactly the kind of concept I like.
I have a problem, though, when I try to save a game. Well, more specifically when I try to load a saved game. I get an error message: "error when loading saved game", nothing more.
Even weirder, when I try to start a new game after trying to load my saved game, the game begins at the day I have left my saved game, instead of day 1, and with every people dead. If I close and restart the game, starting a new games works properly. But I found no way to have my saved game working.
First time it happened, I was so sad since I was at day 39... But I tried again from the start, picking a different name for the save file just in case, and I always get the same bug.
If someone could help... I won't try to play again if I'm note sure I can save my progress securely, and I'm so sad because this game is amazingly challenging and interesting.
Thanks Aprone for all your wonderful work!
