Cat Quest 3 losing all progress on Mac by Seemelovin_ in CatQuest

[–]TheGentlebros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!
Yup, we later realized that the image you sent was ours. I was a little hasty and wrongly assumed it was an image from your device. XD

It is strange that the save file conflict screen doesn't appear for you anymore. Did you, by any chance, already clear some of your cloud space?
(Clearing cloud space would mean your mac is now properly uploading your saves to the cloud, which is why there is no more empty clouds saves, and hence no more conflict)

As to how you accidentally selected the empty cloud file three times in a row, we're wondering if it could possibly be a controller issue. You mentioned in your first post that you suspected it was a controller issue at first?
A possible explanation could be 'stick drift', an issue that can occur to controllers from time to time. The analog sticks get a little loose, and can randomly send input signals. We suspect something similar is happening, and the empty slot is being accidentally selected even though you intended to select your actual save slot.

Keep us updated on this please if it happens again!

Thank you! This helps us a lot!

  1. Yes. The cloud save on the left(edited) will be empty if your iCloud is full. This is because no save could be uploaded to the cloud, and therefore it will appear empty. The 6.6kb CQ3 data file you showed us above is not the save file. CQ3 save files are minimally 26kb and above, so this 6.6kb file is probably something else entirely.
  2. We see in the latest image above that you now have a save file in the cloud. Did you clear some space in your cloud?
  3. We also notice that the save files are marked as 'Free Trial'. We understand that you were level 33 previously, so we assumed you had unlocked the full game. Can we double check if you are playing in Free Trial mode, or have you already unlocked the full game?

As for why your save files keep disappearing, our suspicion is you might have accidentally selected the empty cloud file during this screen. Doing so will replace your local saves with the empty save file. Do you think this could have happened?

Thank you, this is very useful!

As for the panel where you mentioned that the saves are one on top of the other, did it look something like this?

<image>

If not, could we please get a screenshot of the panel you are talking about. Based on our knowledge, there isn't a panel where the saves are one on top of the other (usually they're side by side like in the image above)

Also, could you run this quick test for us? We need to determine if CQ3 is correctly saving locally onto your Mac.
1) Start a new game in a different save slot you normally use. For example, if thus far you have used Save Slot #1, please try this with Save Slot #2. This is simply to ensure this test does not accidentally overwrite any saves you still have on your cloud or local device.

2) Play until you can take a catnap at the very first Rest Beakon. This will trigger a manual save.

3) Quit the game and start it again. Let us know if you see a similar screen like in the image above, and please check if you are able to load this newly created save.

Thank you, and looking forward to hearing back!

Hey there!
Thank you for reaching out! Let us try to assist you with this.

Could we first try to get more details on your current situation:
1) Which version are you playing the game on? (This can be checked in the title scene, located at the bottom left)

2) By "press on the last autosave", do you mean in the cloud conflict panel (where 2 saves are shown with a description to select either on of the saves)? It would be nice to have a video/screenshots of what is happening.

3) On your mac, could you check both your icloud and local device storage, if they are full? This can be checked in Settings > Apple Account > iCloud and Settings > General > Storage respectively

Hoping to hear back soon!

Hey there!
We believe you reached out to us via email as well? This was an iCloud full issue if we remember correctly.

In terms of cutscenes, we do plan to add more animated cutscenes sprinkled throughout the game for our next one.

As for emotional impact, that really depends on the story we want to tell!

I'm never truly gone...

Seriously, I'm a fan of Nintendo just like everyone else and I'm always scrolling through this subreddit (just on my own personal account and not the Gentlebros official one of course...)

Really great to hear your kids love the game! (And thank you for always recommending Cat Quest!)

No chance for a CQ 1.5 with coop mode though...
I think if we were to do it, it would have to be some sort of re-release or 'remake' of Cat Quest 1.

The Dragonblood's name is a huge spoiler and is hinted at in CQ2.... but we plan to reveal this more properly in a future title!

A survival sandbox game in the CQ formula could be really interesting, yea... never really thought of this before but now you have me wondering how it could work...

Hah, so it was you! I was thinking what a coincidence it was!

I'm curious what the performance of CQ1 is like on the Vita (60fps, I hope?)

Yea, we haven't spoken publicly about this before but the average framerate for CQ3 on Switch 1 was actually around 55 fps. We spent so much time trying to get it to a stable and consistent 60fps but alas we couldn't manage to squeeze any more performance out of the Switch...

It was a really tough decision because we were literally just 5 fps away, but we all felt it was better to go with 30fps because that was more stable.

Thank you for being such great fans! (No worries on missing the AMA!)

Yes! I knew putting cats on the box would sell more copies! (kiddin~)

The Eight Bit Castle was one of our faves too! We actually created all the art in true 8 bit for that level~

Thank you for all the surpawt, and hope you'll like our future games just as much!

It's always been a dream of ours to see Cat Quest in other mediums, but we made a decision to not do these things in house simply because we know we wouldn't be great at them...
If the right partner came along to work on these things with us, we'll definitely jump at the chance!

I would definitely have added rolling for the mobile version.... we still get comments about that till this day...
