Saving data where into the game folder

Question

Hi, as the title says i ask for your opinion on "automatic" data saving.
For example, when the user wants to save his progress, he can save it in the same folder as the executable

Answer 1

If you want to indicate the folder where it'll be saved, the tutorials give the example of using ("user://"), which will vary according to the OS.

Personally, I prefer using (./), as this defines the folder where the executable is. So, ./saves would refer to the saves folder wherever the executable is, whether it is /home/bla/game (for Linux) or C:/Games/Game/game

If you plan to have the game as HTML5, do use (user://), which will save to their browser's cache. Similar question here - https://godotengine.org/qa/30304/how-can-create-save-game-system-that-works-game-exported-html5
