[h2]Random Events Explained:[/h2] I realized during testing that galaxy map side-story events can indeed be missed, either because they don’t appear often enough or they are easy to overlook. For now, I am keeping the system as it is. With time and a sharp eye, players can eventually find all the events. This approach reduces repetitive story moments. The goal was to give each player a unique experience in some way. At first, the chance of encountering these events is high, but the probability decreases as more are experienced.

Navigate to the save location of the demo. It would be: c:/users/[your user name]/AppData/Local/Crypterion_Demo (also shown in the image) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35057533/3931839da11de61a86b1933aba1e8b0283d0d9da.jpg[/img] Copy the save game file there, and place it inside the Crypterion folder. Basically, the same "local" location. If you don't see that folder, starting a game in the full version and traveling to your first planet should create it with it's own saved game.
