from now on my android ports of Ren'Py games have a 2nd, persistent save location like windows. if you uninstall an app, the save files and persistent data remain intact.
therefore the app needs the permission to access the public external storage (or a new one on Android 11 ), because it has to read and write outside its own external storage directories.
you have to grant the permission or the app is shut down.
have fun and please report problems (you can reach me
I wish someone would solve the problem of the menu(Save, Back, Skip and ...) on the game screen in the Android port
menu suddenly disappears from the screen and it is no longer possible to save the game or go back
As far as I understand ICCreation just wanted to find a finishing point to move to a new game with newer software. I rather see a dev doing this than spend an ungodly amount of time trying to patch up new tech inside it. Too many Dev get stuck updating their VN for months without new content.
