UltraGiGaGiganticDon't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.
MiDaBaEven worse. Games with a mysterious auto save “feature” that don’t allow a manual backup save.
There’s a special place in hell for those developers.
JackbyDevThere’s also a place in hell for devs who don’t include a “save and quit” in rogue like games because they’re worried people will save scum. As if honest people who can’t devote enough time for a full playthrough are less important than people lying about progress in a non competitive single player game.
I assume it’s more about the hassle of implementing a way of serializing the game state for storage in most cases but if people want to cheat in a single player game let them or better yet seed the rng so that the outcome is the same anyways.
