If you aren't running it through the itch launcher, then do so, otherwise you'll need to pass in your itch api key through an environment variable. Let me know if you still have trouble!
You'll want to make a file called "Cosmic Reach Portable.bat" *in the exact same folder as the exe file*, then edit it in a text editor to write:
@echo off
cd /d %~dp0
"./Cosmic Reach.exe" -s "cosmic-reach-portable"
Then run the Cosmic Reach Portable.bat file instead of the exe. Remember to backup this script so that in future updates you can repeat the same process. If you run into trouble, search how to make batch scripts for windows.
Glad to hear it! It is actually possible with a command line argument -s or --save-location. I'll look to see if I can make it more friendly towards that however, but it may be tricky.
I made sure that 'reverse engineering' is not at all mentioned in the current license file, feel free to decompile, you have my explicit permission. Also, just about anything in the assets/ folder in the jar can be mimicked and put in the mods folder in the save directory (make one if it doesn't already exist),
If a error window didn't pop up, it probably froze instead of crashing, meaning no logs. The fact that you loaded in at all means that the game managed to save properly, so it's nothing to do with file permissions. Could you go into detail by what you mean by "inputs"? Any specific key presses? Or do you not manage to press anything before it crashes?
I'm a bit stretched for time, but it looks like the modding community is making their own distribution platform independent of me, so we'll see how that goes. If no community solution is done, I'll consider it later on in development.
