Our story, a week after release
Hi!
It's been a week after release, and we've been completely overwhelmed with the response so far. Darkwood is selling way above our expectations - during this week, we've sold half the amount of copies sold during three years of Early Access. Wow!
The AMA session on Reddit was also a huge success, with about 1700 comments posted. It's going to take some time to answer most of these questions, but we're commited to it ;)
What's next? We don't know exactly. We're still extemely busy with releasing fixes. After that, we'd like to get some well deserved rest, play some games (I personally don't remember the last time I played something) and think about the future of Acid Wizard Studio.
We've prepared a pretty long post with our history of how we got here, with some behind-the-scenes stuff. Check it out here!
All the Best,
The Acid Wizards
Hotfix 3
Hello,
after continued save issues for some people, we have decided to disable support for the Steam Cloud. A small percentage of players were having issues with the files syncing properly, at random, with no apparent reason. I'm sorry, I tried my best to make this work and actually had a meltdown one evening... We will be investigating this further and hope to re-add this feature in the future.
If you have any issues with your saves, please see if copying the Cloud saves to the Local saves (after making a backup of course) will help: http://steamcommunity.com/app/274520/discussions/1/38596747814926913/ . You can always reach me at help@acidwizardstudio.com !
Changes
- Removed support for cloud saves.
Fixes
- Fixed black screen after dying in chain trap.
- Fixed disappearing underwater passage in the swamp border.
- Fixed glitch when picking up the last item from the Bike Man's package on a gamepad.
- Fixed sleeping characters not waking up when hit.
- Fixed several typos.
Hotfix 2
Hi!
Here's a hotfix for a few major issues. I am extremely sorry about the save problems some of you have encountered. This was never caught during Early Access and I hope they don't come back again. If you have any troubles with loading saves, please get in touch with me at help@acidwizardstudio.com and I will see if I can salvage the saves.
Fixes
- Fixed issues with loading saves related to the Steam cloud.
- Fixed bad Wolfman reaction to the shawl if you've given him the key before. - Fixed missing translation in the epilogue.
- Fixed missing translation for the Mushroom Granny.
