SAVES AND SETTINGS
|

Progression and settings are stored in Godot's per-user application-data
|
||
directory, outside this extracted game folder. Delete Save removes progression
|
||
but preserves settings.
|
||
|
||
Windows:
|
||
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\NETFISHING\
|
||
|
||
Linux:
|
||
~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/NETFISHING/
|
||
|
||
This is an early save format. Keep expectations modest and report any failure
|
||
to Continue, save, sell, favorite, or retain an individual fish.
