Adaca
Patch 1.3.8
IMPORTANT: Clouds Saves are now Enabled! READ THIS!
Cloud Saves have been activated for ADACA!
To avoid save data being lost you must make sure you do one of the following actions:
1) Confirm your primary save game:
-Boot up ADACA on the device with your primary save data FIRST!
-Load your save game for Campaign and or Zone Patrol and save your progress!
-Wait a few moments before booting up ADACA on your secondary device(s) to ensure the Steam servers have time to sync your cloud save!
2) Turn off Cloud Saves:
-Open your Steam Library and right click on ADACA. Click 'Properties'.
-Disable Cloud Saving in order to keep your local save files separate between your devices (if this is what you prefer).
Or
3) Manually back-up your save folder:
-Back up your save files on all devices BEFORE booting up ADACA.
-In Windows, go to AppData/Local/ADACA/Saved and copy the folder 'SaveGames' to another location on your device.
If you only have ADACA installed on one device, you probably have nothing to worry about. However, if you wish make extra sure nothing happens to your save game, feel free to perform options 2 and or 3 before booting up the game.
Thank you!

V 1.3.7 Hot Fix
Fixes:
-Fixed bug where returning to main menu after Ep 3 credits screen caused the game to get stuck in slow motion.
-Made the scripted flare gun near end of Fugitive despawn after firing so players could not pick it up and have it glitch out.
-Fixed issue where the new weapons in Zone patrol were not appearing in the shops screens. You DO NOT need to create a new Zone Patrol save file to access them!
New weapons can be found in:
-Quarter Master Shop
-Shop Keep's Store
-Rook's Shop.
-Added angular friction to physics enabled boom cranes to make them less buggy.
Additionally:
Some players with old campaign save files may experience an issue where selecting "Continue Campaign" may load them into a broken save state on the level Calico Blue.
This bug is due to an oversight involving the end cut-scene made 2 years ago and should no longer be possible on new saves.
If you face this issue and want to play Ep3, simply go to the 'Chapter Select' menu and either select the mission Calico Blue to reset it properly, or just select the first mission under Episode 3 if you have already seen the Ep2 end cut-scene.
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

ADACA Episode 3 Is Nearing the Final Stretch!
ADACA Episode 3 Is Nearing the Final Stretch!
A small but much belated update on the state of Episode 3:
First off, let me apologize for the lack of proper upkeep. I'm just one person and I've had a lot on going on in my personal life since the release of ADACA Eps 1 & 2 back in 2022. However, I still shouldn't have waited so long to actually give updates on what's going on.
Ep 3's story has undergone a few rewrites and technical issues since fall of '22. Also the post launch support for Ep 2 left me feeling very burnt-out for much of early 2023. During this period of burn-out I also began work on a new project (more on that later), as well as got my own place to live for the first time in my life; so its not all bad news.
Lately I have been making good strides with wrapping up Ep 3's development, and I hope (fingers crossed) I can get it out the door this spring! Every critical level and encounter is largely in place and most of what's left is play-testing and polish!
Keep in mind, I am ONE PERSON working on this game; so bare with me. Future delays are still possible even though I feel like they're unlikely now.
As far as details go, I don't want to give too much away as it would be silly to spoil the game after such a long wait. But here are a couple small peeks at what you might see...
Again, I'm sorry for not being more transparent. I know a lot of you have been waiting a while now for news and being met with near silence must not have inspired much faith.
But hey, this could have gone much worse... >.>
I hope I don't disappoint you all any further.
Until next time:
