The Kido Desert, Patch #2 v0.16.2.0-beta

Steam Cloud Saves

• Steam Cloud saves are now being tested for this game. This does require save files to be associated with individual users, which means that your previous save files will not be found by the system.
  
• Chapter Select may be used to recover lost progression, or you may follow the instructions below to recover your old save files.
  

Save File Recovery Instructions

If your save files are missing after this patch, this is due to the Steam Cloud now associating save files with individual Steam accounts. To recover your save files, follow the following steps:

1. Open your local Tower Song files

Right click on Tower Song in your Steam Library or click on the cog icon in the Tower Song library menu to display the menu. Highlight "Manage", then click on "Browse local files."

For Steam Deck users: You will need to do the above step in the Desktop mode for your Steam Deck. With the Steam Deck powered on, hold the Power Button until the option appears to enable Desktop mode.

2. Find the save folder

Windows and Steam Deck: For Windows and Steam Deck users, Step 1 should open the file explorer window to the Tower Song installation location. Find the folder named "save".

Mac: For MacOS users, Step 1 should open the Finder window to the Tower Song installation location. Right click on TowerSong.app and click on "Show Package Contents". Go into the "Contents" folder, followed by the "Resources" folder. In the Resources folder, find the folder called "app.nw", then find the folder named "save".

3. Move save files to appropriate places

Once inside the "save" folder, you should see several .rmmzsave files. Those are all of your old save files.

You should also see a folder named with several numbers, such as 18552391 or 23585823. Each folder corresponds to a different Steam account that has played Tower Song on that device. If you do not see a folder with a name like that, that means that Steam Cloud has not created a folder for your save yet. Close your file explorer window, play Tower Song through Steam, start a new game and make any save at any given opportunity, then repeat Steps 1 and 2 above.

To recover your old saves, copy and paste all of the .rmmzsave files from the "save" folder into the numbered folder with your account number. The first time synchronizing with the cloud can be unpredictable, so we recommend copy-pasting instead of moving so that the old file can be accessed again. Be sure not to delete the steam_autocloud.vdf file in that directory.

After doing this step once, your files should now be automatically synchronized with the cloud.
