For New Players

If this is your first introduction to Etad, welcome! I hope you enjoy! Grab the game, sideload to your Playdate and begin your adventure. The game is now two chapters long, and you'll know when you reach the end of each chapter as you play through.

For Returning Players

There are a few small gameplay changes/enhancements that will differ from your original playthrough:

• You can now only carry one Axe, Sword and Shield. When you find an upgraded version, you will swap the one in your inventory with the new one. If you had more than one of each item in your Chapter One save, the lesser items will be removed and replaced back in their original locations. You will keep the most powerful Axe, Sword, and Shield that you collected during your save.
• Fire now propagates to you (the player) and any mobs that step into a tile that's on fire.
• Poison (the effect surrounding the Plant Boss) now causes weakness instead of damage. Weakness decreases damage done and increases damage taken for the duration of the effect.
• Your left-hand inventory is now sorted a little better and will more correctly revert to previous combat items after using food or puzzle items.
• You now begin the game with a compass in your left-hand inventory. The compass item will be added to your inventory for an existing save.

Simply sideload the new .pdx.zip and your save game will be intact and upgraded when you start the game.

I Lost my Chapter One Save / I'd Love to Skip Straight to Chapter Two

Got you covered! Alongside the new .pdx.zip download is Etad-C1-IdealSave.zip, which is a save game right at the end of Chapter One, with all weapon upgrades and some food. To install the save:

• If you've not played Etad before, first install and open the game, then quit to the home menu. This will create a save game folder on your Playdate.
• Download and unzip the save file. 
• Connect your Playdate to a computer via USB. 
• On the Playdate, go to Settings->System->Reboot to Data Disk
• Browse to the Data folder on the Playdate USB drive 
• Find the folder named user.<xxxxxx>.etad (where <xxxxx> is your Playdate account ID)
  • Note: if you sideloaded via USB, this folder will be named com.garethiw.etad
• Open the folder and copy the contents somewhere on your computer as a backup.
• Now copy the contents of the save file zip and overwrite the files on the Playdate. 8 files should copied.
• Eject the Playdate's USB connection.
