I recently bumped up the versions of various dependencies, including the packaging tool (packr), and the Java version is next. We've been debating putting the user specific files in a user-specific folder, but there isn't actually an industry standard place to do that on Windows - different games drop their save files in Documents, My Games, and AppData, and Steam games typically drop their save files in the Steam userdata folder! Given that this is also a porn game, I would rather people not be surprised to find their save files give them away even if, for instance, they delete or hide the folder or directory containing the game files. So it's not as straightforward a decision as it seems.

Yeah the location of application data on Windows is a mess, and you make a good point about users potentially wanting to hide the game.
To be pedantic, there is documentation from Microsoft as to where files should be placed, and there are standard locations for macOS and Linux as well.
Not a my hill to die on, just pointing it out :smile:

Fingers crossed that updated dependencies and Java will fix the memory leak without any extra effort - memory leaks can be really *fun* to track down :laughing:

Yeah, I've just seen people get mad at save files being in %appdata% before. Like I said, I was debating it, but I do want to give some time for the dust to settle re: the recent other changes.

I'm actually working through updating to Java 11, and trying to fix the Mac and Linux builds as well.
