Right now I've been working on implementing saving/loading into the game. The first steps have been to serialize the data needed to JSON and deserialize it every time a save is loaded. The main obstacle is saving more complicated components, namely, the inventory. The end goal is to allow the player to access a standard RPG save/load menu from the elevator room

Completed:

• Framework for saving and loading
• Serialization for the player's emotional energy and game progress,
• Applying the loaded data to the player

Incomplete:

• JSON serialization for the inventory
• Incorporating the logic into the elevator room itself
