Save System

Temporary solution for the prototype and beta. This will be replaced with server-side persistence when the game moves to production.

What Gets Saved

• Player skill levels and XP (Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints)
• Gold balance
• Equipped gear
• Inventory contents
• Highest unlocked level/checkpoint
• Consumable threshold settings (auto-eat HP %)

Storage

Browser localStorage. No server-side persistence. Saves are lost if the player clears browser data or switches devices.

When It Saves

Auto-save on a timer (every 30 seconds) and on key events: level complete, item purchased, death.

Schema Versioning

Each save stores a schema version number. When the game updates and the schema changes, migration functions upgrade old saves to the current format. The player keeps their progress across updates.
