Ah okay. That was essentially my plan if no one answered me haha, but I figured I'd check and see if there was any one standard. Thanks for the info!

itch.io Community » itch.io » Questions & Support · Created a new topic How to download an update for a game
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I don't want to overwrite my save data and I can't find anything regarding this anywhere online. I downloaded a game and have been playing it off and on. A new update was released so there's a new version of the game. My options are either to extract it somewhere separate, extract it into the folder and let it overwrite all the old files that share names, or extract it but do not copy over the new files. I would expect overwriting is the way to go, but will my save data be overwritten? What's the best practice with updating and how can I be sure I won't lose my progress?
