is each previous versions of this games saves not compatible with future version updates?
i dont want to waste my time if my saves is just gonna be bricked later on.
I want to support old saves when I can, but...
My dream is for this game to be short (<4h) but replayable, via
* different builds (fighter, mage, etc)
* different parties (like baldurs gate 2)
* branching dungeon (like starfox 64)
* lots of random encounters
* (more concise dialogue)
So a lot of the future content will be added to the beginning/middle of the game which means an old save won't be able to experience all of it... For example, if I support a summoner build, an old save can't experience that bc the old save has powerful skills/items already. If I add a new companion who comments on various events, the old save can't experience that bc the old save saw those events already. If I add a branch to the beginning of the dungeon, the old save can't experience that bc the old save is too strong for that branch to be interesting.
I guess what I'm trying to say is even if I support old saves u might still feel like u wasted ur time. If you think that's a possibility I'd honestly just wait a year or so until the game is more solidified
