Player Save Slots

Create, rename, replace, load, and delete up to 12 named player saves through the runtime Save Slots screen.

Filmstrip 0.5 adds a player-facing Save Slots screen backed by versioned runtime snapshots and an atomic slot index. Press L in Play Mode to open or close the screen with the default bindings.

Slot features

  • Up to 12 named slots.
  • Created and updated timestamps.
  • Scene, checkpoint, and project-version metadata.
  • Creation and rename.
  • Explicit replacement of an occupied slot.
  • Explicit deletion.
  • Safe display of missing or corrupt slots.

Create or replace a save

  1. Press L to open Save Slots.
  2. Choose an empty slot or an occupied slot you intend to replace.
  3. Enter or edit the slot name.
  4. Confirm creation or repeat the replacement action when prompted.
  5. Wait for the success notification before closing the screen.

Atomic slot and index updates

A save is accepted only when both the runtime snapshot and the slot index update succeed. Failure rolls back the incomplete side so the list does not claim a slot exists when its data was not written.

Corrupt slots

Missing or corrupt slots remain visible and can be deleted, but they cannot replace the live runtime. Loading a valid slot constructs the replacement scene before disposing the current one.
