Hi all,
This update introduces profiles, which allow you to start a fresh profile (survivor level 1) while preserving you progress on your main profile.
When you open the game, your achievements and progress will be migrated to "Profile 1". There are 4 other profiles you can select, each starting at survivor level 1 with 0 achievements.
Note that profiles 2 to 5 will have the default game Options, which you can set according to your preference.
To help you keep track of the profile you are currently using, it's name is displayed on the main menu. You can also change it's name.
If any of the profiles unlock an Achievement, Steam will activate it for the account. The achievement won't be automatically given to all the other profiles. So it will still appear as not unlocked in those profiles.
Note that the "Reset Progress" option has been temporarily disabled. I will rework it's functionality and include the change in the next update.
Here as some of the possible uses for profiles:
[list]
[*]Letting family members use different profiles to keep progress separate.
[*]Starting again with friends who just bought the game.
[*]Using a low level profile to play with other new players.
[*]Starting a "let's play" video series, showing progress through the entire game, without losing you main profile's progress.
[/list]
I will be starting a low level profile so I hope to see you in the game.
Till later,
André
