I’m thinking about using zstd compressed RON as the save game format for my #bevy / #rust game. It’s relatively efficient, and human readable. Anyone have any thoughts on if this is a dumb idea or not? The alternative would be zstd compressed msgpack files. #GameDev

@mholiv funnily enough the first example on the RON github project use GameConfig so I guess if you run into trouble using it you're entitled to yell at them 😬
( sorry no better input from me but curious about the final answer for my own needs)

@corpsmoderne I honestly don’t think too much can go wrong as long as your underlying data structures can be serialized / deserialized by serde.

Worst case you could change. But it would be annoying to the players.
