Gone Fireflies

Update: New Dialogue System and Achievements!



Gone Fireflies has been updated!

The latest version is live and should be working properly. As usual feel free to report any issues by leaving a message in the forum.

Patch Notes:

  • New and improved dialogue system.
  • Steam Overlay now accessible.
  • 5 Steam Achievements.
  • Auto-Saving added to the game.
  • Walking speed increased in most outdoor location.
  • Small sound fixes.
  • Several minor bug fixes.




About the Old Save Files:

As I mentioned in my previous announcement, the update might cause some issues with the save files from the old build. While they will certainly work with the new version, they might cause progression breaking bugs in some locations of the game. My advise is to try them out and see if you can continue your adventure without any problems.

If you can't progress anymore, you can try to load a earlier save if you have one. If nothing helps, it's best to delete them from the menu and/or from the save folder of the game in Steam app. If some players do not wish to start the game over, they can hit me up in the forum and I'll try to send fresh save files working with the current version.

If you wish to get all the achievements, you'll need to restart from the beginning, though.


Thanks you so much once again to everyone who played and enjoyed the game so far.

New Dialogue System and Auto-Save: Progress Report



Hello everyone,

Just a small announcement to keep you updated on the progress for the revisited dialogue system coming up soon for the game. If you've missed my post about it, it's Here.


I'm about 70% done with the implementation and will probably be done by the end of this week.
I will then make sure everything works fine, fix the little things here and there and hopefully will roll the update next week.

I also included an Auto-Save feature in the game and increased the walking speed in most outdoor locations.



Speaking of Save, your current save files might create some bugs or not be compatible with the updated version of the game. I'm trying to find a solution around it but it's likely that you won't be able to continue your adventure properly with your current save files after the update.

Since the game is very short and since the update is not out yet, you still have time to reach the end but if you wish to finish it later without losing your current progress, please make sure to disable the automatic update in the Steam Properties of the game.

When the game is updated, your old saves will still be accessible, make sure to delete them in game or in the game folder to avoid any bugs. If you are seeing this too late, you can hit me up in the forum and I'll try to provide some fresh save files for those who do not wish to start the game over.

Finally, I will be looking into adding one steam achievement but this might also come at a later time.


Again, thank you so much for everyone who played and enjoyed the game so far and thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Inoa
