How do you leave the game in the middle of a run
It says last save 42 minutes ago.

To answer this question quickly - you should try to exit the map! If you're on a trip with multiple stops, moving on to the next one will auto-save your progress, and if you're already at an end destination, you should gather anchors and activate a gateway, which will auto-save your progress when you go back to the garage.

We go into more detail about our save system in this thread here:https://steamcommunity.com/app/1458140/discussions/0/4348858679321126538/

you can not.
threads asking for save functions begin to get threadlocked.
and I wanted to buy it for long time......:lunar2019madpig::lunar2019madpig::lunar2019madpig:

You have to go to the exit and save back at the garage. Only way, sadly.

THat is really screwed up. People have llifes. Exit save is mandantory.

The devs went into detail on the pinned post that it's a technical limitation, apparently.

then there not very good game designers. Every other game manages to do it. Rogue games included.

You can do it, if you have multiple stops, when you load to a new area, game autosave you. In-run you can't do saves.

That is a design limitation if you can't code for ♥♥♥♥. Just save the status, position and relevant seeds. Glad I deleted this...

I figure there has to be a way for things to be saved, just stating the devs say it's a limitation they've accepted and don't plan to fix/change.

A common problem with games in our time.

Developers got used to doing everything with graphical editors and writing code like FileStream is considered "nerdy". Thereby the art of making savegames is becoming rocket science, and a cheap solution is "savepoints": game only has to save that you reached a level and not what you actually did in it. The result are walking games with an inventory that deletes itself periodically.

Lack of saving was one of the biggest concerns brought up from the demo feedback... and the one thing they still failed to address or compromise on.
(Apart from that very corporate, Uplay/EA~esque PR response in the launch thread that sounded like they were making excuses)

It's a shame that bare bones basic gameplay functionality and features which have existed in gaming for 30 years now isn't one of the first things that some new devs care about these days :/

i just enable the setting pause in menu do what i need to do then un-pause finish the zone then at the garage click save and quit its that simple

i like the rouge-like way of it

Wow this was an insta buy. I even stayed up till 12 to buy the game. But fell asleep at the key board. So I finish my chores this morning and check the reviews and see only check point saves??????????????.

If I can wait for part 2 of Mission Impossible, part 2 of IT or part 2 of Dune. I have the patience to wait for save anytime.

Dangit. I so wanted to pay this game.

exit saves are a part of all rogue games..

There's no technical limitation, they either don't want to add saves because it's not their vision, or they don't want to spend the time it would take to develop a robust save system.

unfortunately a lot of devs just decide "This is the way we'll do this feature" and that's how they do it, so after developing everything else they can't easily fiddle with that particular feature without messing up a bunch of other stuff.

It'd take work, but there's no "Technical Limitation" it's a Dev Limitation. Unfortunately fixing this would put a hold on anything else they're working on for the game before it's fixed.
