Are you playing on the itch io launcher or via website download?

If it’s via the itch.io launcher then the newest version’s files are now in the ‘GROVE’ folder (no version number). Go to the game icon within the launcher, right click and there should be an option to open the location of the game. Your previous version’s saves should be located in the folder there.

If it’s via the website, unfortunately the key due to how RPGMaker stores its files, the save directory is located within the downloaded Grove folder itself, and will require a transfer between every version update.

Make use of the save transfer guide here for both the launcher and the web download: https://twitter.com/regalbuster/status/1614947014068035586?s=46&t=3pZFQ072drfeb9tkDv8O1w

We’re hoping with the 0.308 update that future saves won’t need to be transferred again via the renaming of the grove directory, but do let us know if you run into any further issues.

Im using Itch and im on mac, i found save files but they arent my original save files, they are files i had just made, attempting to start again. i have looked through everything with the name grove attached to it and nothing... i found the text file next to the launcher explaining the process, went to the compressed files and found save files, then moved them to a backup but from that point i got lost, the only save folder there was the one i just accessed with the saves i just made, you have nothing on that list explaining what or where i can get import saves? i went to your twitter found pretty much the same info but for windows, the save file names are the same so i know i found what youve been directing us to but not what im looking for.

also i am 100% certain grove was not deleted from my mac and my old files where still there not too long ago, i actually saw the update email when 0.3 dropped and started playing again (with my old saves) only to realise the only thing that had changed for mac users was the name and icon of the game.....

look i really really appreciate your speedy response and your level of concern in helping me but from what i can see, i believe its all gone and if you didnt get the fact that i invested 17 hours of time into this game, i loved it, i absolutely hands down loved the game but to see all that time and effort gone.. with nothing to show for it....

in all honesty i wouldnt be as disappointed and disheartened if you did have the feature to just add levels and money, thats all i want, my levels and money back, i truly dont care if i have to start again if i just had an exp boost and money bags.

The MacOS build was very much experimental when it first released, so there isn't much we can do there regarding the location of the saves, if you yourself don't know where they are unfortunately.

If it helps, I'm happy to send over a modified save with similar amounts of GOLD and LEVEL if you let me know what amount you had, and can place you at the beginning of v0.204, but you will need to unlock the 0.3 scenes again.
