i’m having trouble actually keeping any of my saves‚ i keep losing them. is there any way to download them??
yeah, twine relies on browser cookies to maintain saves so if you're clearing your cache or switching browsers regularly they'll disappear. To get around it, if when you go to save you hit "save to disk" you should be able to download a file - store that on your hard drive then when you want to load it up you can hit "load from disk" and open that file.
I do try to smooth over any inconsistency between updates that could mess with saves, but be aware that loading saves from previous updates always comes with the risk of jankiness with certain variables not being set properly. This is a risk regardless of if you save to disk or leave your saves in the browser, but it hopefully shouldn't be too much of a problem with this game.
