Possibly. However, you may be missing more than you think you are - 68.2 was the old version of the game before the new faux sandbox mode was introduced in 85.1 along with storyline changes and reconfiguring of a few of the quest routes. You might think it is working fine, only to find that there are problems in replay or other situations/variables down the line. That's why there wasn't a preloaded save in 85.1 - because of those changes weren't found fully compatible form v0.68.1 to v0.85.1 by the developer, themselves. Otherwise there is usually a preloaded save available that starts at the beginning of new content (like there was for 89.8).Just a quick FYI: the save data from previous versions IS compatible with the new one on Windows (don't know about other OS).
HowTo: regedit.exe, branch HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\UberPie\TaffyTales.
Find the needed key named
"wholeGameStateversion (older version)_h(some digits)"
and rename it to
"wholeGameStateversion 0.89.8b" (or whatever).
Tested it on version 0.89.8b with save data from 0.68.2a.
Saves time from skipping through 95% of content to find out that your favorite characters only got 5-10 minutes of new content between them in the last year and a half.
Also, with the game being split into two separate versions/games in the next release (at least that is how it is represented by Uberpie) - it may not be the solution you are looking for.
Any fuckery you do within your Windows Registry is your prerogative - however, when people get to the Dunning–Kruger level of knowledge, they are at risk of bricking their computer-
PS: We've known for quite awhile that the save data is saved in the Windows Registry and have shared that information ad nauseum.You must be registered to see the links: Exercise extreme caution when using the Registry Editor. If you edit the registry incorrectly, serious problems might occur that could require a complete reinstall of the operating system and result in data loss. Avoid any edits suggested by unofficial sources. For added protection, before making edits based on officially published Microsoft documentation, be sure to back up the registry. Then you can restore it if a problem occurs. For more information see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
