This is my profile subsystem. I've developed it for about half a year now!

Have you ever wished to be able save multiple saved games in a "slot"-like manner?

This is where this subsystem comes in to play!


It's purpose is to deliver you a profile-based save and load system. This means if you create a profile in your game it will create a folder (or a whole folder tree) with all configured saved game files in it.


Use cases could be one or more of the following:


  • Family members sharing a pc, wanting different settings/progress files.
  • Modders wanting to try out mods without corrupting their main progress.
  • You trying out a saved game a friend has sent you.


And example setup would be the following:

  • Profile name: Ayes
  • Savefiles:
  • Configuration (MyConfigurationSavegame)
  • Progress (MyProgressSavegame)
  • CustomMaps (MyMapSavegame) in Folder /CustomMaps/

This will save all Custommaps inside /savegames/PROFILENAME/CustomMaps/


Features I'm planning to add:

  • Custom paths ->%USERPROFILE%/MyGame/Savegames/PROFILENAME/
  • Cross profile loading and saving


All these things and more you can do with this system.
