Hello there,
first of all thanks a lot for the game. After some short starting trouble it became a lot of fun.
What's not so good is that something like "apt install flare" is still possible, because it delivers an outdated version for ubuntu.
Now I installed the empyrean campaign additionally. Can I copy my savegames to that version, and if so, how?
And in the old version: Are the "three brothers" the final boss opponents, isn't anything to do after them in that game?

The three brothers quest is the end of the content in the alpha demo (aka version 0.19).
The alpha demo and the Empyrean campaign are completely incompatible, so you can't use your save games across them. But for reference, your save games are located in ~/.local/share/flare/saves/
I'm curious how outdated your version of Flare is. You should be able to get the version number from the top right of the title screen. I think Ubuntu 20.04 ships Flare 1.09 in its repositories.
Thanks for the answer
My empyrean flare has version 1.11. Is that outdated, too?
I would like to report another annoyance: After installing this I thought "Certainly there will be more content after defeating the three brothers" but there wasn't, because I apparently activated a wrong mod. So I played just the same, it would have been helpful if there would have been a message about incompability of mods (empyrian was activated too)
It is just a general rule of Linux, that with the exception of games that have/had a large project team (+20 or more active people) and are at least ten years old, you really shouldn't even bother expecting to get a decent game out of the package manager, particularly something like Debian.
Smaller project teams really can't afford the overhead of doing all the work to get into something like Debian anyway and still actually have a creative and playable non-demo version of a game. In the case of wanting the latest version of a game (most games, unless the criteria in the previous paragraph are met) You will want the developer version straight from git and all the developer libraries, as long is as it is a version that compiles and runs. I know it sounds intimidating, getting a bunch of programmer tools and developer libraries just to play a game, but Linux doesn't really have the separation between users and developers that windows does.
Version 1.11 is the latest release, so you're up to date. I'll see what can be done about marking mods as incompatible in order to warn players accordingly.
Thank you again
