Save-File Management System for Game Progress

[Alfagun74]

Problem

I want to be able to switch between devices or reinstall the game without losing my progress.

Solution

Create a system similar to Steam Cloud Backup. This system would automatically save game progress to a server when the game is closed and retrieve it when the game is started again. The Save-Files should be encrypted.

Steps

• Use Ludusavi to find Save Game Files.
• Design Backend Data Model and run Database Migration
• Implement Backend API
• Upload Save Game Files to the Backend.
• Download Save Game Files from the Backend.
• Handle conflicts between different save files effectively.

Note
This feature will be exclusive to GameVault+

Save files will be uploaded as archives but will not be encrypted by default. Encryption for save files may be introduced as a feature in the future upon request.

There must be a serverside configuration setting to control how large a save archive can be and if they are allowed at all.
