Its a Dev be lazy thing or more likely didn't want to figure out how to do it.Really? As development choices go that is bizarre.
Seems like this is a Unity thing though.
I have played several that do this but I agree most Unity Devs don't use the reg. as a save location its not best practices for sure.It's not a unity thing. This is the only game I played that did this and I played a bunch of unity games.
We can only pray he does fix the save issues along with all the other bugs we have been answering questions about for the last 4 years. Unfortunately Uber has to view it as an "Issue" other wise the coder is likely to be powerless to change it.All these years? How many more years would have taken for Uber to revise and correct the save system? I think he is first and foremost an artist, he has always struggled with code and strictly speaking he can be excused for not seeing it needed something better, it's a VN (it's delusions of being a sandbox not withstanding), the number of variables it needs to track are negligible, I agree it would be better reworked (which could potentially fix several of the persistent bugs), but on balance between the amount of time it would have taken for him to actually do the work and the amount of time it takes to do a workaround is significant (another reason you need a mentor, he'd have spotted earlier the false economy of workarounds vs doing the job right in the first place).
But AFAIK he has a actual dedicated coder on the team now, so maybe reworking the save system will be high on his TODO list.
The coder winds up being a resource that Uber will use most likely to continue new content and not task him with fixing old code. I really hope Uber see's the light so to speak , we can hope...
