Quick question - wondering if you’ve ever run into this: do you have to randomly generate save file names? Mine is just hardcoded into my game

I never had to change my game’s save file names, I did run into trouble when I used a super generic save file name across my games and my games overwrote each other’s save files xD

If that save file is hosted on itch’s servers, wouldn’t all users be pulling from the same one?

Save files are not saved on ItchIO servers, they are placed in your browser’s localStorage. However because ItchIO counts as only one domain, all ItchIO games will share the same localStorage container. This means other games you play on Itch will also have direct access to your game’s save files.
