Save on Quit
Added 2018-06-30 04:00:06 +0000 UTCI was asked the other day how to make a Ren'Py game that saves on quit, and then automatically loads the save when the game restarts. Since it's a good question, I decided to write an article on it; when I realized the article would be full of hacks, I made a few changes to Ren'Py to make it better. You can find the new best answer in this month's article.
That's what I love about writing these articles, by the way - the process of answering questions in depth makes Ren'Py better for everyone. Thanks for supporting me!
Oh, and even if you aren't interesting on saving and automatically reloading, check out the bonus at the end, which talks about how to use automatic loading for development.

cool, I had already a hack in place (suggested by you in forums) to add a "continue" button but not the save on quit, will be very useful indeed!
