The game now saves itself at Dragon's Veins. Your progress is recorded whenever your active vein changes — reaching a new one, or returning to one you found earlier.
Earning an Aspect slot or picking up a major item still saves too.
Saving from the pause menu is gone. It let you save inside a boss arena or partway through a chase and then reload into a world where the encounter had reset around you, skipping it entirely.
One save list now, newest first, keeping your last 8. Each entry says what wrote it: Dragon's Vein, Aspect Slot or Item Found.
Quitting or returning to the main menu no longer asks you to confirm. Your progress is never further behind than the last vein.
Fixes
Menu panels and frames didn't render at all in 0.3.0, leaving menu text floating loose over the game. They're back.
The "Journal updated" notice appeared in the top-left corner instead of the bottom-right.
Holding a direction during a conversation now keeps you running the moment it ends, instead of making you let go and press again.
Note
Saves made in 0.3.0 will not appear in this build — a save is tied to the version that wrote it. They are not deleted, and will reappear if you roll back.
