Designing the GUI for the release 2.0 was done first to see, what features should be ported and how to connect them to each other. The language of choice was C#, since the game's PC version is supported only on Windows, and GUI tools are quite well supported and easy to use. However, as the creation of a graphical user interface is not that easy and flexible with Python tkinter GUI library, the next step was to switch language. Also the Bash was replaced with the native Windows command line. The final Python 3 version of the save manager included previously mentioned features, but also save creation and deletion. After that came support for more than two save files and user scanning, to switch between users. First was added automated Steam directory finder, to mitigate the user's need to type in where the client was installed.

The first version included only a simple switching between two save files, where all paths were hard coded into the script, which at the time was written in Python 3 and using the Windows 10 Linux subsystem and bash, making the script not portable at all. The idea for save manager came from having to manually move save folders yourself, if you wanted to have multiple saves with MGSV: The Phantom Pain since the game only has a single save slot builtin, quite a contrast compared to the previous games in series.
