I was looking for more information about how this variable works: define config.save_directory
i.e. I'd like to release updated versions of my game (with corrections, new scenes/chapters, etc.) and I'd like players to retain their original save slots and permanent data. Can I achieve it just by setting the same save directory folder name for the updated software?
Sorry if this sounds lame, I'm new to programming.
How to define config.save_directory to release additional chapters to a vn?

It says you should avoid changing it. As long as it's the same as the previous release, your players should be able to load their saves from the previous release.
So yeah, you could achieve it by just setting the same save directory folder name.

You generally don't touch that config option.
If your players update, then you need to think about variables - they must be defined in the old save file if you want to avoid problems. Make sure you use "default" to set variables outside any label.
