Has it really been two years? Time flies!
One of the most-asked-for features for The Bottom of the Well has been to implement some way to save your progress, rather than having to start over from the very beginning every time. I was afraid it would be an insurmountable hurdle due to the way the game was designed, but it seems nothing is impossible. Although I can't be entirely sure it's actually working for everyone, so it'd be grand to get some testers.
[b]So, if you want to help, please try out our new checkpoint system in the Bottom of the Well Beta![/b]
To access the Beta, simply write in the super-secret code in the Preferences/Beta section of the game:
keypadcodeis****
Where **** is a certain 4-digit number code that any old player of The Bottom of the Well will know and never un-know ;) [hint: if you've forgotten, you can probably find it in various walkthroughs]
[b]NOTA BENE: This update will remove the "Profiles" system entirely, so there will always only be ONE profile.[/b]
It turned out to be too complex to make checkpoints work separately for each profile, and either way no-one really used it for anything!
Other changes include:
- Maybe fixed the elusive "I Live, I die, I live again"-achievement bug
- Minor typo and formatting fixes here and there.
- Some minor UI updates (+pretty new splash screen)
- A brand new piece of music by Jussi Elsilä (you'll hear it towards the very end of the game)
Future plans include:
- Adding to and improving the ending.
- UI overhaul.
- Visual cues for when skills are checked and used.
