Multiple Save slots for famillies

[Lifepath [CdE]]

Hello. I have 3 kids and we all like playing the same game sometimes. But with only one active slot this is a problem. When one of my kid has started a run I have to choose between playing another game or deleting his save.

It would be a huge Qol improvement if we could have multiple save slots (preferably 4 !)

Great game; Super jeu ! Thanks

But runs are like ten minutes long?

[Lifepath [CdE]]

More like an hour actually...

[Gremmer]

Each area takes like 2 minutes, and the shougun area 3 minutes

That is very very fast. How did you do it?

[KingOfCharge]

Runs are 10 minutes if you’re a speedrunner. Otherwise 30 minutes is more accurate.

[Gremmer]

It's 30 minutes if you take more than 5 seconds to decide what to do

I just want to know how to do it under ten minutes because my fastest round is about 18 minutes. And I have to use special combos to make it. So I want to know your strategy, I don't think you can do it by just playing fast.

Oh, I play very fast, mouse controls go vroom

[bobking1116]

that's amazing

[Gremmer]

Not really?

Hey there!

Unfortunately that won't be on our list, at least for now. The two reasons for that it that it requires quite a lot of time of development and can possibly bring critical bugs (because the saves are always a touchy subject :D)

Also, we're now focused on some more content and the rest of the roadmap. I cannot tell you it's something that won't ever happen, but I also can't tell you it will. I'm very sorry as I'm sure that's not the answer you were waiting for, but I'd rather talk frankly rather than keep you hoping!

if you want to, I can tell you how to manage to do this manually by renaming save files each time you want to switch saves though :

-Press Windows + R keys, and in the "run" window that open, paste this : %appdata%/../locallow/roboatino
-Alternatively, search for the folder located here : C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Roboatino
-In here, you can see a folder called "ShogunShowdown". Those are your saves.

So what you need to understand here, is that the game we will only read in the folder called "ShogunShowdown". If you rename it "ShogunShowdown-Lifepath", launching the game will create a new "ShogunShowdown" folder, allowing you to start anew.
-Then, if you rename the new "ShogunShowdown" folder into "ShogunShowdow-yourchildsname", and rename "Shogunshowdown-Lifepath" into "ShogunShowdown", you'll have your old saves back when you launch the game.

It's a bit tricky and you might not want to do that, but that's the best I can give you right now. If you've got questions, please ask!

Cheers,
