For potential returning players who didn't have the opportunity to save their progress with this new tool, is there a way to restore progress?

When new story content dropped, I was so excited to get back in but was also intimidated because my base, my vehicles and every item I had grinded for a month would have been lost and I didn't want to get on the grind again.

OMG! This is so helpful! I stopped playing a while back after the initial launch because I was done with the story content at the time and didn't want to participate in the deep desert content.

The format used to have multi-line comments that I had removed because it didn't make a lot of intuitive sense from a readability perspective.

I'm quite happy with the final design :)

There were a lot kinks with the original design that had to be ironed out, like, handling new lines in quoted tokens, that were discovered as I worked on the library and created more test cases to parse and serialize the data

Almost a year back, I started revisiting how I naturally format key-value pairs and tried to find rules that explain them.

Once I was happy enough, I started working on the c++ library. And that one took forever to fine tune and find the right balance for what I want from the API.

For some additional context on why it took so long, one of the earlier candidates for this file format was minifiable, but not that readable. So, I renamed that version to crmpl and had it archived - github.com/hibzzgames/crmpl

+1 on DebugDraw3d. It's such an excellent addon

Oh and the google playstore ain't a saint either. I had a side project of mine delisted a year back because I didn't push any bogus update.

Also $99/year apple tax too 🤯
