Thanks for the assistance on this, I have looked through the ReadMe file but I haven't been able to find any App data on my windows computer for the game ( even after enabling viewing of hidden files and folders ) so either my computer really doesn't like this game and files, or I'm a blind fool and it is staring me in the face.
Either way I'm going to keep trying to get it to keep a save for more than a few days, been a real fun game though so can't wait to see how it continues to improve.
