Hello! I’ve been working on a video game and I’m to the point that I would like to create a save system, but I’m not sure what tutorial to use, there are so many and I don’t know which ones will work with the type of game I’m making.
Features of the game that need to be saved:
- Choices made/relationships with characters
- I’ve already established a save system for the player inventory (:
- Mini-game highscores and history
- Story Progression
- Character Journal
- Outfit changes
- Room unlocks and locks
There are also a couple things that I need to get done that will probably relate to the save system, should I do those first? Not sure what order I should go in. These things include:
- mini quests
- day/night system
I also want the player to manually save and be able to have multiple saved games rather than auto-save.
Based on what I’m making what tutorial(s) would you recommend? The most important part and part I probably will need the most guidance with is the story progression+character relationships.
I’ve always found tutorials on my own but sometimes I’ll end up coming here and asking for help and someone will say that the tutorial I was following wasn’t reliable, and it’s always super helpful, but I figured I’d skip the step of following an unreliable tutorial.
(Also, for future reference, should this be classes as a question or discussion post? Its technically a question but it’s not like a “i need help!” its more of a community discussion so I really don’t know!)
