yes the previous builds could have some compatibility issues with saves you don't have any previous save available? from this version 0.8.24.18 until the end of beta saves should (finally!) be all compatible!
I don't have any other saves other than the one that i have saved from the other builds. I could try to roll back more on my other saves in the other builds and see if i can get it to work.

Unfortunately during betas is a good idea to save often and in several different slots, and in any case is not uncommon for saves to not be compatible, in particular if the main engine is even updated like happened in this case...!

Thank goodness you don't have Easter eggs in your game that would insult the player for much saving! I have played one RPG-maker based game where at one point you can check the number of your saves (in your upstairs cupboard) and if it's higher than a certain number, it says something along the lines, "That's quite cowardly!" (On the other hand, if you have a small number of saves, it'll give you goodies. )
@renke: Good to see you're alive!

I tried to save another slot by rolling back a bit in the game and this is what popped up.
"I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Yes that's what happens if you try to load older saves. If you STARTED a game in 0.8.24.18 it SHOULD (99% but not 100%) be compatible for future updates, otherwise the only solution is start from scratch.
The betas are like this - not always, but for reason behind my control it can happen
loverofbooksSep 24, 2014
aww, well thanks for clearing that up for me! and congrads on getting the game finished!

Closing down this thread, since I'm uploading the new act beta I decided to not wait for the last art, since I can always add it during the beta (should be just an extra lighthouse location, nothing else).
