The idea

First, thank you for your work on Hookshot (v2.0.11). The Linux version runs very well on my system (Linux GLF-OS Quasar-Quake, Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 155H, 32 Go RAM, RTX4060 laptop).

I would like to suggest adding support for multiple independent player profiles.

My use case:

Three people share the same Linux PC and play Hookshot. The current three save slots are not sufficient, as they belong to the same game progression. Starting a new game can overwrite existing autosaves, and there is no way to select a separate player profile.

Suggested feature:

Allow users to create and name multiple player profiles.
Each profile should have its own independent save data.
Switching profiles should be possible directly from the Hookshot launcher or an in-game menu.
All profiles should share the same compiled game installation, without requiring multiple builds or separate Linux accounts.
This would make Hookshot much more convenient for families and shared PCs.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Thanks for the idea! Separate named player profiles (saves and options) for a shared PC. Feature requests are collected in #1007, so it's tracked there now. Closing in favour of #1007.
