Backing up progress on Android and PC (tutorial)


Hi everyone,

We have received some reports that, on some Android devices, to install the latest version of Heroes University H, you have to delete the previous one, which deletes your game progress. So we created this small tutorial so you can back up your progress before updating our game on your devices, along with information on how to back it up on PC if necessary.


Android

We may need a file manager to access the “Android/data” folder (for this example we will use ZArchiver).

We go to the location (/storage/emulated/Android/data/), and look for the “com.huh” folder (1), select it (by holding down) and choose “Copy” (2), now you can save this copy in the location you want (3), but for this example, we are going to save it in the same location (4-5-6).



Now we can uninstall the previous version of Heroes University H (7)


And let's install the latest build (8).



Now, we open Heroes University H, (this will automatically create the new folder where we will copy the files we backed up before) and we will see that there are no saved games and nothing in the replay gallery.






Now we close Heroes University H and go to the folder where we copied our files from the previous version, in this case, “com.huh(Copy)” folder (9) (in the route  /storage/emulated/Android/data/)), go inside and copy the “files” folder (10), and paste it inside the new “com.huh” folder (11-12) (where we will also see a “files” folder). Proceed to replace all the files that were there (13) (in this case, check “Apply to all files” and tap “REPLACE”).


Now we reopen Heroes University H


And, we will see that there are the saved files we backed up and the progress we made in the gallery.



PC (Windows)

just back up the “Heroes_University_H” folder in the path “C:\Users%USERPROFILE%AppData\Roaming\RenPy” (without quotes), although this should not disappear when deleting the game from the system, or you can also back up the “game/saves” folder inside the game folder itself (also on Linux).

Now this is weird cause I have done this for other games and saves went over fine. Though for this one it isn't working and I'm gonna have to start over for like the 7th or 8th time now. Not saying it's a bad thing though just find it weird.

Hi, what problem do you have when trying to back up the saved files?

Well I've essentially followed the process displayed to back up my saves and it still didn't carry over. Which is weird because various games use this process to do so though this was the only where it didn't work.

When installing the latest version of Heroes University H, do you open it first? so that the new folder is generated and then place the old files inside?

that may have been where I misstepped I will look into it again 

Yeahhh checking back that sadly didn't work out.

what is this for? I just saw that I have the option to change to a new version in the itch.io app that I use when I go in the configurations from the game, where I can find stuff like "deinstlal or test updates"
