Override Save Location v1.0
Shaz
Introduction
This script creates a folder with the same name as your game in the player’s AppData/Roaming folder, and subsequently puts save files in that location.

This means multiple players can use the same PC, under their own profile, and keep their save files private (and safe from accidental overwriting). Players can also uninstall, reinstall or overwrite your game with a new version, and their save files will be unaffected.

How to Use
Paste into a new script slot below Materials. That's it.

Compatibility
This script overrides the save_file_exists? and make_filename methods of DataManager. If you have scripts that alias those methods, this script should go above them. If you have scripts that overwrite those methods, you will have to compare the two and make changes to the lowest script to incorporate both lots of modifications.

There MAY be issues with this script if the logon name for the computer contains international characters. I have not been able to test for this yet, so please post here if you do come across this issue.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

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.
