Thanks a lot. I tried, but it doesn't work - maybe should have said before: I'm on a mac. I tried creating a save (tried with saves too) folder in the game folder and also tried putting it in the renpy folder. but nothing comes up. Any more advice?
Pulled from the RenPy options file in the master build:
## Save directory ##############################################################
##
## Controls the platform-specific place Ren'Py will place the save
## files for this game. The save files will be placed in:
...
## Macintosh: $HOME/Library/RenPy/<config.save_directory>
...
## This generally should not be changed, and if it is, should always be a
## literal string, not an expression.
The RPA files appear to be identical on the mac and pc versions. Neither appear to have changed the save location.
In the mac version, the variable "config.save_directory" is defined in StraitenedTimes.app\Contents\Resources\autorun\game\options.rpy as:
define config.save_directory = "StraitenedTimes-1556023370"
$HOME/Library/RenPy/StraitenedTimes-1556023370 seems to be your target directory location. Pretty sure Macs have the same kind of "show hidden files" options as PCs, so maybe check on that too.
