Change Log
- References to a “run” have been replaced with the term “run”.
Save File Logic
This game should autosave a run’s progress after a room is selected on the District Map.
- Quitting the game mid-run and then reloading the saved run should send the player to the next room as if we just entered it (i.e. after the district map has transitioned out). This still allows players to save scum to alter the outcome of a room, but prevents them from going back on their choice of room if they regret picking it.
This game should support multiple save slots.
- The current plan is to have 3.
- When the game is opened for the first time, and no save data is detected, the game should automatically create a save file in slot 1 and set it as the active file.
- Save files will be changeable in the settings menu. (This is because it’s a feature most players won’t need, but the hardcore players will appreciate it and won’t mind jumping into settings to switch files.)
