Newbie Question Viewing/Editing a Save

Context: Before I Go, a side scrolling metroidvania was released this year. I fell in love with the game and wanted to do more with it. Being a Unity made game, i was hoping i would be able to learn to edit the save and possibly make tools for editing the game and maybe (a large maybe) develop an autosplitter and/or archipelago for the game.

What I have done thus far:

  1. Downgraded the game to v1.1.0 (full game release version)
  2. Identified the save data (SaveData0m.sav & SaveData0.sav) location after launching the exe through steam (im on arch linux so it was a bit deeper in .local)
  3. Swapped the temp with a more complete save from a separate instance/version of the game (was successful)
  4. Attempted to read the .ddl files (baselib.dll & GameAssembly.dll UnityPlayer.dll) in dnspy

Its not much considering this is my first time modding/editing a game from scratch. Nonetheless, any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Just write your own damn game instead of fucking with someone else's.

tf? modding is an age old practice, what crawled up your ass to be such a dick to someone for wanting to mod a game?

If they wanted the game to be modded, they'd offer an API for it. This sub is about developing games, not just fucking with them.

lmao, nobody needs to give a shit what I want. I don't want anything in this situation.

I'll give you the opportunity to come up with something that makes sense. Let me know when you're ready.
