Since this game is still W.I.P and this is my first time using Itch.io so how do I update my game when a new version come out ?

Do I just redownload it or something ?


Exp meeting one of their kin:

Yup, you redownload it.

As for why: you're downloading only the game files, with no client or functionality to auto update, unlike ex. steam

if I redownload it does it have any conflicts with the older game files ? 

Will they replace the files themself or do I need to delete it ?

It shouldn't matter whenever you replace all the game files, or just extract it to a different folder.

It would matter if scav had its save files inside its game folder (I haven't played in quite some time, but I don't think scav saves anything, right?). Then you would need to move the save folder if you extracted the updated ver somewhere else.


Though, as someone pointed out, itch has a client you can get with updates! (first time I hear about it lol)

itch.io has its own client which i find tiny bit unintuitive to use for browsing random games, but is amazing if you use it as launcher with auto updates
