Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave feedback.
The save system works similar to Harvest Moon. Your progress is saved when you go to bed. If you played through the tutorial questline(quest 4, i think), there is a hint about this when you place your first bed. You can go to bed and save roughly every 18 minutes, which is the time from sunrise to sundown in-game. Starting without a bed and needing to craft one first is not ideal, and I plan to improve that in future versions.
As for the back-and-forth walking, I completely agree that it is not very fun right now. Once you have bought some servants, you can have them follow you and use them as mobile inventory. They also have a dialogue option to deliver their items to your main storage room, which helps reduce the running.
The current world is more of a test environment to see how systems work together. A lot of things will be adjusted and improved as development continues.
Thanks again for your support. It really means a lot.
