That makes sense, because otherwise you could find yourself trying to fix problems that are created by old saves and reworked portions of the game.Heads up to anyone planning to update to version 1.0.0 mid-save:
Version 1.0.0 will use a new folder for save games, which means that your old saves and persistent file will not show up in this version unless manually copied. This is intentional.
While you could get around this problem by copying your old files to the new folder, I strongly recommend against it. You will run into bugs and progression issues if you do so due to changes across the entire game, and the achievement system will break.
In other words, if you're already playing the game on version 0.42 and don't want to start over, I recommend not updating when 1.0.0 is out. Finish your existing game first or be prepared to start over from scratch.
I have not invalidated saves since version 0.03, so I feel like the game deserves a blank slate this one time, especially since this version marks the transition from "beta" to a finished game. I want to make sure that any problems people might run into with LLtP from this point out are not caused by legacy issues from older versions.
The game was enjoyable enough that replaying from scratch with the final completed game could still be fun for a lot of people.
