Yes.
Yes.
The game jam build will be obselete. Steam and Itch.io will be updated to Stillwater Remastered. While we are honored you enjoyed the original game jam version, we believe Stillwater Remastered is the polished vision of the work we couldn’t finish during the game jam. We hope you enjoy it!
No, Stillwater Remastered can not load up previous saves from the game jam version.
It is a future project we would like to make, but realistically, we would need time and funds to tackle this endeavor. Hopefully soon.
