Would Adventure Creator works with Steam/Google Play Games/iCloud cloud save?
Hi, as I am about the deploy my game, I am wondering if AC could integrate with cloud save features of some major platforms. I undertstand how to save custom properties, but is hoping to utilize the convenience of AC saving system while at the same time using the cloud save features.
I think the key might be reading the data saved by the AC system, and pass it to the cloud save API. Was this issue ever explored?

Steam cloud saves is very easy to setup.
You can basically just specify a file extension and a folder and it will handle cloud saves for you.
As each platform has its own API and requirements, there's no set-way to handle it - but customising where AC saves/retrieves save games is typically a matter of implementing a iSaveFileHandler script.
See the Manual's "Custom save formats and handling" chapter for details on this, but you can also check the SaveFileHandler_SystemFile and SaveFileHandler_PlayerPrefs scripts for examples.
