Thanks for watching! 🙂See below for some important info regarding this tutorial. ⬇ ==1. WebGL games will not work right out of the box with this tutorial== In a WebGL game, you don't have direct access to the computers file system and therefore won't be able to save like we do in this tutorial. To properly handle data for a WebGL game using this system, you'll need to write a 'WebGL Data Handler' to save your data to a WebGL compatible data storage instead of a file system. This is essentially the 'Cloud Data Handler' I briefly refer to in this video when talking about how the system will work. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough on WebGL myself to be able to recommend an alternate way of storage; however, most cloud-based storage systems should work. ==2. Does this work on Android?== The short answer is - yes with some considerations. I haven't tried this on Android myself; however, I have heard of several others that have gotten it working. In certain mobile versions, OnApplicationQuit() is not guaranteed to be called in the Unity lifecycle. Therefore, you may want to additionally save the game in OnApplicationPause(). Below are a couple of threads that dig into this issue in a bit more detail. Stack Overflow - stackoverflow.com/questions/64140744/unity-onapplicationquit-doesnt-work-on-android-all-the-time Unity Forum - answers.unity.com/questions/824790/help-with-onapplicationquit-android.html In addition to the above, there have been claims that Application.persistentDataPath is a bit finicky on Android. Details on this are a bit long to list here; however, there is a great FAQ post on my Discord server with information regarding this issue and some solutions for it. ==3. Ref Keyword is not needed-== As some have pointed out in the comments, you do *_NOT_* need to use the *_ref_* keyword (7:22 in the video) at all. By default in C#, non-primitive types are automatically passed by reference and for what we're doing the _ref_ keyword is not needed. It can actually make the GameData object a bit more vulnerable than we need it to be and I would recommend removing the _ref_ keyword. This was a misunderstanding I had about how C# passes by reference. My apologies to anyone this inconveniences or confuses. Thank you to those who pointed this out! I also address this in a bug fixes video which can be found here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4iLssWinaTKprw.html (see the "Removing the 'ref' keyword" timestamp) ==4. Other FAQ regarding this tutorial== I have other FAQ's regarding this video and the entire Save & Load System series on my Discord that can be found here. ➔ 📱discord.gg/99gcnaHFf9

@@fuzikun_ Hey there! It should work fine for 3D. I believe others have implemented this into their 3D games successfully. Each project is going to have it's own quirks though. I'm happy to help as I can, but you'll need to provide me with details for what's not working. I also encourage you to double check your code against the Github project that can be found here, as it's easy to make mistakes when following along to a video - github.com/trevermock/save-load-system/tree/2-save-load-implemented

I don't disagree but what i think every student should know is that you're not really going to college to learn in most degree fields, the degree is what's important. It basically proves that you had the consistency and discipline to graduate from a four year school, which a surprising amount of people can't do. It also, or should at least, as mine did, helps to put together a structured portfolio and get connections throughout the industry through fellow students and teachers alike. I'm saying this because I know a lot of people who didn't make any connections or really bother in college, just doing the minimum with the concept that they'd learn more from youtube than class. Those people ended up with bad websites and poorly structured portfolios, and little to no people willing to act as references or connection for them. I was rejected for a studio job but then a previous professor was able to find an "in" for me at that studio (many studios require a ridiculous amount of experience for an entry level position so often connections are your best shot to start with) and got me the job because i'd impressed him with my work and earned a high opinion from him. Sorry if I'm out of line, just that I've seen way too many people fall into the "college doesn't matter, I can learn from youtube" trap

@@juanferrer5924 I get it, and in all fairness, some of my professors were absolutely remarkable. And while I could've learned most of the same crap on KZread, I would have never developed any connections. Your timing is eerie, too. I graduated recently and the job openings just aren't there for rookies. Now I'm applying to work as an Amazon delivery driver. I'm hoping in the future I can turn my business, Next Patch Studios LLC, into that first stepping stone for people like me just leaving college.

@@juanferrer5924 Juan's commentary is pretty spot-on and sums up what a scam college is (or at least feels like to those of us who don't succeed at it.) You're paying exorbitant amounts of money for a piece of paper, and along the way you have to endure the often-mediocre teachings of college professors who themselves didn't have what it takes for that field. Employers see your degree and that tells them you have the discipline to endure four years of gosh-damned nonsense. It also shows them that you're probably in a lot of debt and desperate for any rate of pay to start paying your loans off, and that gives them more leverage in negotiating a salary. Having a polished portfolio is where it's at, or at least, that's what I'm hoping.

This by far one of the best Unity tutorials i’ve ever seen! The step by step, detailed explanation is very well done and clear! Subscripting right now!

One of the best tutorial i've seen! I knew nothing about dictionary and JSON before that and was able to understand and make it work! Great work!

Incredible video. Using interfaces like this is definitely a good and scaleable way. Also really cool thing with the GUID I didn't know. So far I've build my own custom GUID generator but this is much more useful. Also THANK YOU for not using BinaryFormatter, every old tutorial about a save & load feature uses is, even new tutorials so very good that you show a different approach on encryption.

Hands down one of the best tutorials I've ever watched!

This is my favorite method to store data now. Brackeys' tutorial was decent, but too basic and uses BinaryFormatter. This one not only explains things well that even an intermediate coder can understand, but the interface-saving method is just 999 IQ. 600th comment btw

Nice and thorough tutorial. One thing I did differently was to use a scriptable object to store my persistent data rather than using a singleton. Still works!

Amazing, efficient, modular. Great work, leaving a comment for the algorithm.

This is the right way to do tutorials. Well done

This was a truly amazing tutorial. I couldn't get the dictionaries to work correctly for object activation though. So instead, I found I was able to use a list to achieve this the same way where instead of a GUID code I could use id as an index for the list.

For future reference, there is a type I found that works exactly like a Dictionary, and it is called SerializedDictionary. You can save this through JSONUtility the same way you would imagine for a regular dictionary. Dictionary RegularDictionary = new(); is the same as SerializedDictionary NotRegularDictionary = new();
