In this video, I show how to implement Save Slots to manage multiple saved games by expanding on the Save & Load System created through two previous tutorials.
In this tutorial we'll cover how to organize multiple saved games, how to create a save slots menu, and also how to continue directly from the most recently played saved game.
Thank you for watching and I hope the video was helpful! 🙂
