hey everyone, i managed to create a simple save but i need now to know what we would like to save. What stats do we need to save? Do we need to keep the same map as the one previously generated? If so, do we need to keep track of the damage we did to the enemy?

Guillaume Fortin

well health and energy are technically a secondary stat so you need to save level-strength, dex, endurance-wisdom, spirit, and wtv the last one is called

Lamiri Marouen

yea, it will be removed, i used it as a visual indicator that it worked OK, so instead of health and energy, should be the stats Guillaume says
