Where are the save files for this game?

[Squamata]

I want to try out a few variations of an ending with different items, but I don't want to keep restarting even at act 3 just for a few different lines of dialogue. Is there a place I can copy the save files and paste them back later?

It's in: C:\Users\you\AppData\LocalLow\Dreaming Door \Golden Treasure - The Great Green\Saves.

For anyone interested in playing with the local savefiles to see multiple outcomes, keep in mind you may need to turn off steam cloud sync, otherwise opening the game will overwrite your local savefiles with ones that are in the cloud.

Does anyone have suggestions on how/what to edit?
I mean, what would be best to open the "globalsave.gt" file with for easier viewing?

A basic text program?

Editing or viewing the files is not such an easy thing. Golden Treasure is made with Unity. Unity converts game data into a special save format. It appears that there are de-converters that can make it a little more readable if you do a little Googling, but it's also rendered so generic that you're changing values blind. Someone might be able to figure it out, but it won't be quickly.

If you disable Steam Cloud, then you can move and put back the save files at will. globalSave.gt is controlling all the metagame stuff (animal masteries, art gallery, tarot cards), and savedGame.gt is your current playthrough. usr.gt is options like font size and volume.

So if I wanted to test outcomes quickly, I'd...
1. Exit game,
2. Copy out savedGame.gt somewhere else,
3. Start game,
4. Do whatever,
5. Exit game,
6. Copy savedGame.gt back to Saves folder.

You cannot force integrity. "Making" someone mindful will only delay their growth. People choose a path; when forced to walk it, they gain nothing. The game has good intentions. However, the repetitive grind -- not of their choosing -- negates the intended effect.

There are no shortcuts to enlightenment, nor can one be led by the nose to it. There should be learning acquired that reduces or simplifies some of the dialog on multiple play-throughs. And once acquiring certain skills/cards, and having made certain choices dozens of times, those choices should have a "pass".

Ten thousand steps to mastery. Meditate on that for your next game.

Remember, kids. The road to Hell is paved with... save-scumming.

I happened to like re-reading some of the full dialogue on multiple playthroughs. I appreciated some of it all the more once I had seen more of the story and had seen/read what comes later.

New player here, I like the save system except that I wanted to show my wife and let her play but now we can t both have a save at the same time.
I'd love three save files or so, without the ability to copy between the saves.

The easiest way to accomplish what you're seeking, is to

1) browse to the c:\users\(your user name)\appdata\locallow

2) right-click 'Dreaming Door Studios' and selecting 'send to' and then 'Desktop as shortcut'. You'll now have a quick and easy way to get back to the save files.

3) There will be a folder in this location named 'Golden Treasure - The Great Green'. This folder contains your persistent game and any of your game saves.

4) You can now copy this folder at any time while the game is open, and rename it to keep track of who it belongs to. With the game closed, simply rename the folder back to it's original name, and you'll be able to continue where you left off.

5) I highly recommend not using saves as a safety net unless you want to ruin the experience the devs intended.

Where is the mac save location? Need it for a similar reason.

I cannot verify this for myself as I do not have a Mac, but I would refer you to this post by CodingCat from another thread:

Yes, it is the same, I finally found it :) It's weird cause both folders are called "com.DreamingDoorStudiosLLC.GoldenTreasureTGGDemo" but are in different locations and the actual demo one was created earlier and contained more content than the full game one. The internal structure was slightly different as well. I just moved everything, taking care to just replace the files, not the whole structure and it's working :) Thanks a lot!

For anyone else possibly looking, I found the demo folder in
~/⁩Library⁩/⁨Containers/com.DreamingDoorStudiosLLC.GoldenTreasureTGGDemo/Data/Library/⁨Application Support⁩/com.DreamingDoorStudiosLLC.GoldenTreasureTGGDemo

and the full game folder in
~/Library/Application Support⁩/com.DreamingDoorStudiosLLC.GoldenTreasureTGGDemo

Thank you. This works.
