◆Saves & Checkpoints: Protecting Your Progress
Your world is precious. Hours of worldbuilding, chapters of adventure, a character forged through trial and consequence. Creation OS is built to ensure none of it is ever lost.
›1. Auto-Save
Your progress saves automatically and silently as you play. Every turn, every codex update, every new piece of loot is persisted without you lifting a finger. If you close your browser, switch devices, or simply walk away, your world will be exactly where you left it when you return.
Auto-save runs in the background at regular intervals and whenever something meaningful changes. You will never see a loading bar or a save prompt interrupting your adventure.
›2. Manual Save
For those moments when you want absolute certainty, the Manual Save button sits in your play bar - a small floppy disk icon that gives you direct control.
Click it and watch the icon cycle through its states: a brief spinner while it saves, a green checkmark to confirm success, then back to idle. It takes less than a second.
Use it before a risky combat encounter, before making a fateful narrative choice, or simply for peace of mind.
›3. Checkpoints
Sometimes you want to preserve a specific moment in time - a save state you can return to if things go sideways.
Checkpoints let you snapshot your entire world and restore it later. Think of them as bookmarks in your adventure's timeline.
Open the checkpoint panel from the sidebar and give your save a label - something like "Before entering the vault" or "Pre-dragon fight". The system captures everything: your character, inventory, world state, chapter history, and progress.
›4. World Directives
When you write your world concept in the Genesis Gate, you can embed hidden instructions that persist across your entire story.
Prefix any line with NARRATOR INSTRUCTION: and the narrator will treat it as an unbreakable storytelling rule.
NARRATOR INSTRUCTION: Do not reveal the existence of aliens until the player reaches the northern continent.NARRATOR INSTRUCTION: The king is secretly a shapeshifter. Drop subtle hints but never confirm it directly.NARRATOR INSTRUCTION: Combat should be rare and deadly. Favour diplomacy and stealth encounters.
World Directives are your most powerful storytelling tool. Use them to plant long-term secrets, control pacing, or shape the tone of your entire adventure before it even begins.
