Hi! I was playing this game and enjoying it, and then (I was up to season 5 or 6) the game suddenly deleted my saved data?
Specifically, it cleared my game in slot 1 (it now says "start a new game in slot 1") and replaced slot 2 with a save at the very beginning of the game? (There's a "press A to redeliver" note that triggers the very first dialogue with the postwoman from season 1.)
Seems like a weird bug! I was enjoying the game a lot up until that point.
If there's any sort of debug code that'd let me skip back to where I was, that'd be super appreciated - I just finished whichever season ends with the Big Maze.
I don't believe there's any skip code unfortunately :( making a note about if that is a support option we can add.
If you email support@finji.co we can potentially check out the save files and try to figure out what happened / if we can restore progress manually though. We never encountered this behavior on this game before but would love to stamp it out! Thanks
I'm sorry you felt my comment was rude. It was made out of confusion, not contempt.
It's just that I make games and use Linux and it's very easy to make a Linux build. Maybe with some game engines it's more difficult, but from my perspective it just feels strange to not include a Linux version of a fully released game when a Mac version is available. To properly support Mac, you have to join a $100/year developer program an jump through a bunch of hoops. Linux has none of that. To be fair, most people use Windows, so I understand why that's the main platform, but it still feels weird having Mac but not Linux, when Linux is much easier to support.
Also, admittedly, most Windows games are automatically emulated in Linux and work pretty well out of the box, but still.
You're very right that actually producing a Linux build in a lot of game engines is pretty easy. However, since the audience size is positively miniscule, and we still need to QA the linux builds at least a little bit to make sure they work properly, historically it has never been commercially sensible to do this. We still do it with lots of our games, for essentially political reasons. But it is not a sensible thing to do haha. Desire noted regardless! Thank you!
I couldn't get it to work with mine. The controller works fine on the OS level, but the game did not respond to it at all. Is there any other trick needed there to get it to listen?
(Finished the game on the keyboard by now, and it was great! Keyboard controls felt a bit awkward though compared to playing Wilmot's Warehouse on a controller.)

Hello! My wife is a big fan of the previous Wilmot game.
Do you have plans to release it on Nintendo Switch in the near future?

Very happy to see a sequel! A bit sad that there's no co-op. Can you make a 2 to 4 player version?
Is this the same Wilmot that worked in a warehouse? 🥰

What a fantastic game, it’s just so tactile and lovely :D The ending made me ‘aww’ out loud too, bravo.
This is extremely addictive, actually.
So, Linux users aren't real people?
just because this comment was so rude i hope they never make a linux version, just to make *your* life slightly more difficult <3

nobody said that people that use Linux aren't real. them not making a port for Linux does not in any way mean they hate Linux.
The game is compatible with steam deck which has Arch linux. Therefore the game is on Linux.

...there's another wilmot game? Wow!
Are game controllers supposed to work on macOS? I can't seem to get them to work at least.
Most Bluetooth controllers should work well, and PlayStation controllers should work well over wired.
