Update #12: In combat saves

[p]Update 0.8.1.0 introduces autosaves for each turn in combat. In combat saving has been the most heavily requested feature since launch, and we will be adding manual saving in combat in an upcoming update. We are working hard on features and content to increase the playtime and replayability, more on these soon. The next update will be introducing a new difficulty “Nightmare” and achievement for those looking for a challenge. The best way to encourage the team is to review the game, each and every one really matters to us and helps new players discover Every Day We Fight. [/p][h3]
Major Feature[/h3]

[p]In combat saving.[/p]

[p]The game now autosaves at the start of each turn. We’ve updated the save file structure as can be seen below. Saves are located in \\AppData\\Local\\Fuji\\Saved\\SaveGames\\. 1.sav is the save data for the first slot. _1.sav is a checkpoint for the first slot. In the backup folder, you will find 20 saves for each save slot. They are labeled with a UTC timestamp. It is safe to take one of these backups and copy it into the savegames folder directly, then renaming the save to match the correct save slot (ex. 1.sav).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Gameplay[/h3]
