Two installations? (One at work and at Home)

Post by Glowbeard »

Hi!

Fantastic game!

What I want to do is install this game twice, once at home and once at the office (We get a lot of down time) and have the save games sync through Dropbox. Is this at all possible (Maybe just installing the game straight to Dropbox)? Would I have to buy two copies of the game?

Thanks!

Hello, you don't have to buy two copies for that.
One of the options is to use the zip-package, it doesn't need to be installed, and all the data+saves are in the folder, so you can have it on usb for example and play wherever you want directly from the usb.

Ah OK, so if I just shove the Zip package into dropbox, and play off there with my user name etc then it should all sync.

Brilliant! Let me give it a try.

for those not wanting to play through internet, it's also completely possible to play off an usb drive too, because after the loading part, only the save/load actually need access to the disk.
