need quit-save

[Tatooine47]

played (on my boyfriend's account) a game for more than 50 minutes, level HAHAHAHAHAHAAH. had to go to work. closed the game thinking it would save my position like a lot of other roguelike games. it doesn't. i'm very sad. :(

It's not supposed to save your progress. You do it in one run.
You can, however, pause the game.

The only thing the game saves are the logs and challenges unlocked.

that's.. unfortunate. not everyone can play for hours and hours. you know.. work, family, kids, other things TO DO. and "pause the game" is essentialy the same thing as a quit-save system, only more dangeous and stupid (here in italy in spring there are a lot of thunderstorms, my cat loves to jump on the keyboard, and so on..). not asking for a save-system in game, only a way to stop, close and continue later.

I'd like that also.
I had to suicide a 2h run yesterday, it was incredible but I had things to do.

[Raw Master]

yea honestly this is a necessary thing for many people, they should really add it

I remember wanting that so bad in the first game, I don't think they ever added it, might be wrong, been a while since I played it.

They dont, is the same system like here.

I'd like this as well for SP

For MP there is no pause and no save. It makes for a pretty intense time.

Enter The Gungeon got a similar update once. You can press a button near the "teleporter" to the next level, which will instead save&quit the game. Once you launch it again, you can continue the run as if you have just "teleported" to the next zone. Would be a neat feature, ain't gonna lie. Some of my runs went for good 160+ minutes.

[AstOz]

Yea, need it too

Most rogues don't save your game mid session xD Don't worry though, you'll get back up there soon. This game is meant to be played repeatedly. Dying, starting over and losing your session due to real life is how it works. Nothing to worry bout.

Rule of thumb I have been seeing for this game is to have at least 90 minutes to play for one run, as the vast majority of the runs in the game can be completed within that amount of time.

Unless they go wildly differently from RoR1, you'll be able to end your run (a "stage 5" that you only enter once you've finished looping) where you fight a final boss and your run either ends in victory or defeat. Think something like Wizard of Legend Endless mode. Right now there is no "end", but in the future if your run gets long there is a "win" state, so you'll be able to finish a run if you get low on time.

That's pretty wrong. Lots of them allows to save, pretty frequently even.
The best example of all being The binding fo isaac rebirth which saves on EACH room changes.
As other have stated, most adults playing games are usually interrupted (kids, mostly), and RoR gameplay inherently pushes you to never stop, so a 3h+ run is not unlikely.

An ability to hit 'Esc' > 'Save and quit' in 2 seconds (like, again, TBOI), would be very appreciated. Saving between levels, considering those are usually 10min long is a no no.
