I’ve set up a save system, but it does not work when I share the game. It only works in the simulator. Could it be there is a bug in the Editor or maybe I made a callous mistake?

Note: I noticed that there is a part in the load settings function where it says to read setting “newsave” as string setting, but the variable setting is not present anywhere else.

hi, i stopped working on this project and I’m right now working on another Requiem game to act as this one’s successor (ironic cause Requiem Lost Station was meant to be the successor of the original Requiem)
