See #1 of the 67th posting of my FAQ for this game since 6 May 2022 (at the bottom of this post)
Nope. Those aren't save files.
See #4 of my FAQ below. The PNGs are just images you see in the save slots in the game.
Don't waste your time. Everytime a new update comes out old saves don't work.
I never actually move save before and i thoght all Unity save are in the same place MB
No problem - Uberpie has never created an actual save location up to the current version, choosing throughout development to simply use the Unity default PlayerPrefs written to the registry.
Really? As development choices go that is bizarre.
It's not a unity thing. This is the only game I played that did this and I played a bunch of unity games.
Yes Dude it is a Unity thing
Guess I haven't played enough badly programmed unity games then.
Keep looking, most games Unity or otherwise have failures in best practice, but I imagine this is a rare situation because the vast majority of people learned first on a language other than Unity (which didn't have default saves to registry), and carried on that practice when they started with Unity (it does make more sense after all).
I get that. I can excuse a lot with games like these, because most devs are amateurs. I feel in all these years now, he should have reworked the save system by now. But that's another topic.
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).
Its a Dev be lazy thing or more likely didn't want to figure out how to do it.
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.
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.
I will quote the same post again after 3 more years..
Who cares if games like this are ever finished? Once a developer is "finished" they don't add more content for the game. I like continued content. Whether you like the series or not, shows like "Simpsons" and "South Park" have been creating content for over decades -- why can't video games do the same?
Yup, that option has been discussed in this thread several times in the past. Congrats for getting it to work for you. As a reminder, notes to anyone who decides to fuck around with their Windows Registry:
they are all easy to find with google if you type the exact phrase,
