Steam Cloud Save support please!

[EviePatamon]

Started playing this on my Steam Deck and I'm enjoying my time, but I'd love to be able to pick it up on my big screen on my main PC too without having to start from scratch. Hopefully steam cloud saves can be added in future! :D

+1

Definitely needs steam cloud saves for those of us with a deck (or more than one pc).

not actually sure how to do cloud steam saves currently with the system i have setup, ill certainly look into it, but it might be a bit later down the road.

[EviePatamon]

No worries, I plan on playing further on my Steam Deck regardless :D

I have 2 computers and 2 places to play. It should need a steam cloud support so I don't have to start all over again. I really got addicted to this game.

Where do you currently store the save data? I'd like to be able to copy paste it over to my main PC if I ever want to play there, temp solution until you are able to get cloud saves working :D

Id like to see ETA fo cloud. I have 3 gaming places, so games without cloud saves is nono.

Idiot put save file in registry.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SomethingExtra\ToTheCore

yeah im using Unitys playerprefs for the saving, is there a problem with doing that?

[The_SaruKage]

Not a problem at all, my friend. It's a design/development decision and it doesn't impact the game. Players here just want cloud saves so they can play across different devices and they're taking out their frustrations on you. You can ignore the comment.

Games great, BTW. Really enjoying it. Cloud save feature would be a godsend for sure, but you've already agreed to add it and are obviously working on other improvements to the game, so no pressure. Keep up the good work!

[SgtTrib]

yes please!

Well functionally there isn't a problem, though putting something that Players potentially want to access into a location that could cause serious problems when mishandled might not have been the smartest move.

love the game btw

Game is great, but having saves added as a registry entry is a pretty awful decision in most player's eyes. Even aside from cloud saving, it makes it near impossible to make backups, transfer across OS installations or repair broken saves (not saying broken saves are an issue here).

It's a terribly limiting way of doing it and I'm sure most would highly recommend you make a proper save system. Just have it save to a file, there should be no issues with that. I definitely don't agree with the rude name-calling though, that was uncalled for. >:C

as a publishing developer it's more of an issue than a problem, so you get held to a different expectation, even though you are only low key strawmanning the poor commenter.

you obvs have Steamworks access, although unpolishedly not integrated. other tutorialising devs out there have blog pips about adding it to their particular version of unity, the doc on it is even public you don't need to be logged to your steamworks partner id

yeah im just thinking of switching the saving system over to saving into a file within the game, thanks for the info <3
