I think that being able to change the save directory to either have a more convenient file, or have the game on a drive with shared saves between systems is a no-brainer, but so far, it is pretty much impossible to change the directory itself.

A new setting could be made so that we have a streamlined way to have the directory in a different folder.

Right now, the ways to change where the game looks for to find saves is a weird and convoluted process that requires an unnecessary amount of effort in my opinion, and basically amounts to tricking the game into using another file through copying, renaming, moving, etc..

Thank you for your consideration and I hope that we can see this game evolve through time.

Not solvable due to GameMaker's restrictions on sandboxing. Has been tried many times by many different people and all the workarounds have their own host of issues.

As an addendum, please do NOT make issues relating to the game itself on this repository. This is exclusively for the AM2RLauncher.

This is possible to do on Linux and macOS via environment variables overwrites. I'll keep this issue open if anyone has any ideas on how to do it for Windows.
