Testing in Isolated Play Mode

Play Mode serializes the active authored state and constructs a disposable runtime scene with cloned Game State and RPG state. This gives runtime testing the same data boundaries used by the standalone game.

Safe test coverage

• Movement, collision, triggers, interactions, dialogue, pickups, scene transitions, audio, and runtime notifications.
• Party, inventory, equipment, shops, rewards, Quests, menus, and managed variables.
• Turn-based Encounters and in-progress battle state.
• Named player saves and Save Point checkpoints.
• Transition and defeat-recovery policies from Project Settings.

Stopping Play Mode

Stopping Play Mode disposes the active runtime scene, clears runtime-only services, resumes suspended editor tools, and discards unsaved runtime changes. Authored scene and registry content remains as it was before the test.

Loading a player save

A load constructs and validates a complete replacement runtime scene first. The current runtime remains active when the candidate save is missing, corrupt, incompatible, or otherwise unsafe.
