Good.
Then we write it exactly like that.
Short.
Clear.
No mystery.

Title:
April 27, 2024 – It “Works”… But Nothing Saves
Publish Date:
April 27, 2024 – 23:11
Accounts are now loading from the database.
Login works.
Character select works.
Game loads.
Looks like success.
Except…
Nothing actually saves.
Gold changes.
Items move.
Characters update.
Log out.
Log back in.
Everything resets.
After digging deeper, realised what’s happening.
The account layer is reading from the database.
But the rest of the system is still writing to the original flat file structure.
So the game “runs” — but persistence is split.
Two systems.
Two sources of truth.
And neither one fully in control.
This is going to take more than just swapping save functions.
