this is because of the networking framework I use. In singleplayer, you are technically hosting a multiplayer game still, but it is not listening for any connections and is LAN only.
This means your character file got corrupted. You will need to go into your ATLYSS_DATA -> profilecollections folder and delete your character files and start over. I will be adjusting how save data works soon, just in the meantime, make backups in case if this happens again.
After doing some skimming around, I'm noticing you've played the old version. Try giving the new version a try if you still have time, and it may alleviate 85%-90% of your suggestions / issues.
This next upcoming demo will most likely be the last demo that won't be on Steam. So next demo I release after this one will most likely be put on Steam alongside a potential release of the Early Access version with netplay.
I got to take a look at your document, thank you so much for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed what the demo had to offer. I'll keep some of these suggestions in mind because some of them are worth noting. Thank you!
I've gotten this addressed now with the new build that I released today-- you can now switch between hold to aim and toggle to aim in the input settings.
Thank you! For the next build and onwards, multiplayer will be working right out of the box. I've programmed the entire game around netplay, as all the logic for the game is entirely server authority. Only thing is that when you disconnect, all your character data saves on your end locally. Connecting to a game will send your character data over then be utilized as a golden copy by the server.
There's quite a lot that has been added, improved, changed, etc from the last version. I've spent a lot of time to make sure the game can be as fun as it can be after all the wait. Will be putting the game out on Steam later on as well that will be taking advantage of the steamworks library so you can host through steam instead of port forwarding.
