currently the game saves everytime whenever you interact with almost anything including even picking up items
at the beginning of the game this isnt much of an issue but later on as you progress whenever the game saves theres a short lag spike which gets REALLY annyoing whenever you have to interact with every single little thing
this should be changed to an auto save that would activate by itself every few minutes
additionally the player should be able to set however many minutes they desire for the game to autosave in the game's settings
the game would also save everytime you'd exit to the main menu and there should also be a "save game" button in the pause menu
just in case someone is still paranoid about losing progress then there could be a toggle to keep the game saving every time you interact (exactly as it is right now) or make it auto-save only as described above
