New Save/Load system added!

Dev Log – New Save / Load System Added

Quick little quality-of-life update based on early player feedback.

One of the first comments on the game was:

“Love this only issue is i cant save my progress”

Totally fair. So:

💾 New: Save & Load Your Run

You can now save your progress in Lost Out Here and come back to it later.

How it works

• At any time, type: save game

• The AI Game Master will pause the story and print a SAVE BLOCK, wrapped like this:

• BEGIN LOST_OUT_HERE_SAVE

  ...save data here...

  END LOST_OUT_HERE_SAVE

  
  

• Copy that entire block into a text file on your computer.

When you want to continue:

1. Start the custom GPT again.

2. Paste your SAVE BLOCK (or upload the text file).

3. Type load game.

The GM will:

• Read the block

• Rebuild your stats, traits, inventory, relationships, faction reputation, location, and day count

• Give you a quick confirmation of what it loaded

• Drop you back into Rathyal where you left off

🔧 Notes

• This system is text-based and intentionally simple, so you can keep multiple saves if you want (different characters, different paths).

• It’s experimental, so if anything feels off when loading, please let me know – screenshots or copy/paste of the SAVE BLOCK are especially helpful.

Huge thanks to the player who pointed out the need for saving. This should make longer runs through Rathyal a lot more comfortable.
