Desecrators is participating in the Endless Replayability Fest! Use this opportunity to grab Desecrators at 40% off, and prepare for a major update landing later this week.
*Note: Current saves cannot be used in the next version. You will need to start afresh, but hey, why would you want to continue your artifactless and upgradeless run*
0.9.5b changelist

- Improved start game menu

0.9.5a changelist

Desecrators 0.9.5 - Polystate
The save system has been reworked: The loadouts of the host and clients are now tied to each run. Ship loadouts from one save can no longer be carried over to another save. You can consider each save slot to be its own self-contained world.
Save migration
When launching Desecrators after the update it will attempt to migrate your existing game save into save slot 1.
- For singleplayer you should be able to continue your game seamlessly.
- For multiplayer, please be aware that client loadouts are not migrated. Instead, the first time a player joins a specific game they will start with the default loadout and their progress will only be persisted on the server.
You can play the previous version by navigating to Desecrators > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation and selecting v0.9.4c
