While messing around with the in-game save and load system, I was able to find a way to make the game load a save while already loading another scene.
In order to perform this glitch, do any action that will automatically take you to another scene after a decent amount of time. Then, save your game and click and hold the check button to load your game. When the Samorost logo shows for loading, or when you are supposed to lose control of the menu, let go of the button and it will load your save anyway.
Doing this in different parts of the game have given me different results, such as loading in an area you will need to come back to and using this glitch to move your inventory to the location of that save, which could be VERY useful in runs if allowed. I have also gotten a few interesting things to happen, such as giving control to the player during a cutscene and creating errors like this:
I will continue to update this thread if I can find any more interesting glitches related to this. For now, here is a video on how to do it:
I found something new with it! by locking the knife to my cursor and keeping it out of my inventory while I did this glitch, I think I might have been able to duplicate multiple rooms on top of each other, or at least multiple events or triggers. I'll continue to share updates!
After testing around, I've proven that it is possible to duplicate items to another save file, although I'm not sure how I recreated it, I do know that I had loaded multiple rooms at once, and then saved in the room with the space ship before loading into the same room which caused the game to crash. When I opened it, I had the item from the tree planet in my inventory. This means that, if this trick can be performed reliably, it can save a ton of time when trying to backtrack.
After more inspection, I figured out that this trick basically functions as a teleport, which keeps all previous player data, allowing you to entirely skip the yellow planet and parts of other planets too! If this glitch is allowed and I find a way to perform it reliably, this could be revolutionary for the speedrun.
