hi! this is super unusual as it's the first time i've seen it happen, so i'll have to ask a bunch of questions to try and troubleshoot it...
-first of all, locate your folder by typing %localappdata% into the windows search (if you're using a different device somehow, please tell me!) and find the lottylife folder
or look for it manually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\lottylife (replace <username> with your user)
-try to back up any saves you make progress in and see if they're still getting removed in real time while playing
now.. for the trial and error part:
-right click the folder itself or an empty spot inside of it and click properties, uncheck "read-only". if this doesn't fix anything, change it back
-run the game itself as administrator
-it may be kinda obvious, but if you're running the game from within the zip file then make sure to unzip it to its folder
i'm a bit late to this due to a power outage, but if you've solved it by now, also let me know so i can use the info to help folks out in the future!

was there an error? you can resolve it through brute force by typing %localappdata% into your windows search or navigate to wherever saves are stored on your device/setup, look for the lottylife folder, and delete everything in there.
that will delete your saves and settings, but you'll likely be able to play again (be sure to back up the files in the event that it doesn't fix the problem)
"Mobile port?"
No, but there's a small chance post 1.0 if I have a change of heart (please don't ask me about it). Emulators apparently work fine, just be careful where you get them from. I'm interested in Linux/Mac ports.
"Will you release free updates for every version?"
I will on a sporadic schedule, up until what feels like enough. (probably 0.51). Subscriptions are only $3.50, and you have options with sites!
"Will you release a guide?"
The final free version will get a guide. In the meantime, here's some tips...
- To melt the icicles, you can use Fire Jet which is obtained while exploring the upper eastern part of the forest then dropping down.
- Milly and Shadow must be encountered during nighttime.
- There's a secret boss that spawns a doorway in the treetops, towards the east.
- There are a lot of technical things you can do in the game, experiment if it's too challenging! (equipment, stats, try comboing normal/special/magic attacks together) Also, check the extra options in the main menu!
