Cross Save

[Serriel]

Hello, the game is also available for Nintendo Switch, i would buy it, but i don't like to start a new game, i would like to have cross save between the PC Version and others platform like the Nintendo Switch. Is it planned to bring this feature?

would it be too much to ask for access to the save file/folder on PC and mobile so we could sync the save with Dropbox or drive?

That's what I would love to have sooooooooooo much!!
Played the game on Android >20h so far, but I dont want to start over completly new on PC.
I'd like to play on mobile (Amdroid) whenever I have the mood and time to do it, and continue my game at big screen on Steam when I'm at home..

We are investigating the possibility to be able to access the save folder or otherwise extract the save on mobile, but currently I don't have any news to share.

Disney dreamlight valley has an cloud save where you can make an account on for example pc and then play further on the nintendo switch. if you log into the same email account. is something also possible for dysmantle? Learn from what they have done. I like the option to have a cloud save between console and pc. Save files are not that big.

We have had some internal discussions about the viability of a save transfer solution provided by us either on a local server on in cloud, but there is no easy way to implement it. It would pretty much require one full time person to both develop (which takes time) and to provide continued support for it, something which we can't justify financially. To give you an example, while I am the customer and fan facing person in our company, I am also a level and game designer for Dysmantle. Unfortunately we have a lot smaller budget than a Disney licensed production has.

Okai i get that, disney is a lot bigger.
i got to the site www.dysmantle.com
and there i found the following:
How does the Manual Save Transfer work on Android devices?
Make sure you have the latest Android version (at least 1.1.1.35) of DYSMANTLE updated from Google Play Store.
Export (get save out of the game):
1. Long-press the game icon, and select "Export/Import Save".
2. The game starts normally, but exports the save files to user accessible storage.
3. Use the device's file browser or a computer to access the save files in (device/internal storage)/Android/data/com.the10tons.dysmantle/files/save
Import (put save into the game):
1. Store the save files into the same location as when exporting.
2. Long-press the game icon, and select "Export/Import Save".
3. The game starts normally, and imported save files are used. NOTE: make sure the save files to be imported are newer (modified date) than the existing save files. Otherwise the files to be imported are overwritten with the existing files.
Now some great news: If you also have Dysmantle on PC/Mac/Linux, you should be able to use this system to play the same save game on both desktop/laptop and mobile, just copy the save file into the save folder on the desktop/laptop and you should be golden.

Will this also work with the switch? when putting save file on micro sd?

Can't say for sure, but would heavily expect for it not to work. I will double check from a person who knows more about our console version than I do tomorrow.

That will be awesome if you can check that. And can you ask him also when the console version of doomsday will be out? Because now it dont show up in the eshop of the switch.

Sorry for the delay in reply. We had a long talk, going around documentation but couldn't come into a definitive conclusion. There is a SD card data transfer option in the Switch, so theoretically it could be possible. As our conclusions weren't clear cut, I wouldn't recommend buying the game on Switch with the express purpose on trying to get your save game from PC working on it.

okai thanks for looking at it. maybe when i have money left i could try it for the good cause. :)
