I don't know if I should post it here, since it is theoretically possible (depends on the engine). Apologies if I posted it on the wrong area.


With the advent of Steam (and other services) providing cloud saving, I wondered if it was useful to add a similar capability for games that are not on Steam. I have found technically a way (although I haven't found a working solution to this yet, since their documentation is hard to understand at times), but I'd like to ask:


If you could implement it, how would you achieve this and why?


(If you are wondering why I want to do this, on my childhood years I lost a lot of saves, and I did not know how to back them up, so if the computer went bust, all progress was lost. And it was at a time where Cloud Saves were a fantasy.)

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
