Build a Survival Game Saving System

Discover how to let players keep their survival game progress by building a save system. Utilizing a pre-built game project made with Unity, you’ll explore a popular method to gather and serialize game data – which can then be saved and loaded later to recreate the game state exactly as it was! Whether you need to store player positions, inventories, base setup, or something else, these skills will help you both enhance your survival games and other game projects.

You will learn how to:

Alter in-game objects with data needed for saving
Serialize save data with custom data structures
Collect all object information into a string
Save string data using Unity’s PlayerPrefs
Load data back in from a string
Set up an in-game menu for game loading

… and more!
