Windrose devs don't have any progress wipes planned for early access, but 'of course s**t happens'

Early access survival games can be dangerous for players, and not just when it comes to murderous monsters. As games get patched and updated over years of early access development, the consequences for players can occasionally be dire: corrupted saves, lost items, overwritten bases, and sometimes flat-out world wipes that sets everyone back to square one.

Windrose is the new early access survival game hotness, and today its developers, Kraken Express, wanted to reassure players that on the long voyage to a 1.0 release, they don’t need to worry about losing all the piratey progress they’ve been making.
