I would really prefer not to for a few reasons. 

One of the biggest is that saving is unreliable when locally hosted. I can't explain why but from what I have read its a hard limitation. I don't have the code skills to make actual save "files" yet.

I also don't feel comfortable having the whole game engine downloaded. Its a foolish pride in it I suppose. Especially since anything on a webpage is technically downloaded anyway.

How about this for a question... why would you want it downloadable? Is there a benefit to that which I am missing? Or is it simply to have a backup?

Depending on the answer I may actually consider it.

Well;

• I'm on android most of the time due to covid, and running it through the "Run daiper game" (did I spell that right?) forces the game into landscape mode, making the save button inaccessible (the middle section scrolls, but the rest does not). I'm hoping running it through another method may fix this. I only started playing again last night, as my computer died around the start of covid. This is my primary reason; I can't actually save with the device I can currentlt play it on.

• While not nearly as important, sometimes my roomie's apartment randomly loses internet for a few hours to a few days. I say not nearly as important because it's usually because my roomie has a shit ISP that likes to be nit picky about late payments when they mail them on time, and they just arrive late, and this only happens on occasion—it isn't something that's happening frequently.

Those are the only reasons I have; and the first one is the only one I actually care about, since I have a Nintendo Switch and other mobile games to entertain me when there's no internet, and I'm sure the same applies to most people that use their phone for games (having other games that they can play offline, not necessarily the Nintendo Switch part).

If you still don't want to make an offline version, that's fine; you said offline saving is unreliable, so making an offline version so I can save would be a moot point then.


So, instead, maybe move some of the sidebar elements around instead? On the left side, I can't see below the brown… progess bar…?

------------------

Unrelated, but sometimes (it's only happened thrice so far, twice on PC, once on mobile) the game just… ends… giving me no clickable options to progress the story… Not sure if this is the end of that path for now, or if it just failed to load the links. If it is the end of that path for that update, it'd help to put the links' boxes with the future options in plain text and a dev note saying the player has reached the end of that route for now.

EDIT 0: Corrected 'dev not' to 'dev note'.

The patreon version has tons of improvements, that bug especially. The next version coming out at the end of this month is going to have a 5 save slots. As for the landscape thing.... An interesting problem. The whole code section about mobile is part of the oldest undum code. I will take a look to see if I can fix that.

Thanks so much; much appreciated~♥
