I'm curious where Ren'Py stores game saves on Mac OS Sierra. The Ren'Py FAQ has some brief info on the subject here:


It says:

Mac OS X:
~/Library/RenPy/game_directory

However, I can't find a 'RenPy' folder under 'Library' so I'm confused... I used 'Command + Shift + .' to see reveal the hidden folders and it does reveal the hidden '~/Library' folder, but no 'RenPy'...

I'm on El Capitan but there is no reason that it is different.
You do not confuse ~/Library and /Library?

~/Library is your user library folder = /Users/yourName/Library (same level as ~/Desktop, ~/Documents, ~/Pictures...)
/Library is your mac library folder (same level as /Applications, /System and /Users)

The RenPy folder should be in /Users/yourName/Library
In any case, on my mac it is there and that's the only explanation I see.

Found my problem - I have a HD for my docs and an SSD for my system files. I was looking on my SSD's /Users/yourName/Library but it is in fact under my HD's /Users/yourName/Library folder.
