Save System

The save system is a feature for Baldi's Basics Plus to save the player's progress by entering their names.

Overview
The save system is a name entry screen (or sign-in screen) with a clipboard held by Baldi. The clipboard shows the player's names and they can click on one of these names to play the game with saved data. If there is no name in it, then the text prompt, "Comic Sans MS", appears.

If there are less than eight names in the screen, the player can add a new name. The name may have a maximum size of eight letters and only English/Latin alphabet letters are allowed. Clicking on a new name or pressing the Enter key starts the game with the new data file.

After pressing the gray "Comic Sans MS" text on the bottom, the name will become red-colored when hovering the cursor on it. Clicking on this name will permanently remove it and it is unable to get reverted back.

Pressing the "Comic Sans MS" text again will lead it back to the selection mode.

Mechanics
The save system can detect completing the Hide-and-Seek mode. If the seed entry appears on the top of the mode selection screen, then it shows the player with this name completed the Hide-and-Seek mode at least once. Since V0.3, this system saves the progress in the Hide-and-Seek mode after pressing the "Save + Quit" button in the elevator.

The save system is also used on ranking for Endless and Field Trips modes. It records their notebook counter in Endless Mode and score points in the Field Trips mode.

If pressing the name with a lost or corrupted save file, the screen shows an error screen of a Baldi-like character with a blue shirt, while some eerie music is heard playing. The text says:

"Oh no! It looks like this save file is lost or corrupted! That's not good, is it?

Please create a new file and report this incident using the "report bugs" link in the about page found on the main menu.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Press any key to continue."

After clicking on the screen or pressing any key on the keyboard, the selected name will be erased.

Trivia

 * The save system was first teased in the Kickstarter's second status update post.
 * Two of Baldi's fingers holding the clipboard are cut off near the erase button, possibly because of the white screen's size.
 * The screen was first used on the anti-piracy feature in Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo.
 * Prior to the V0.1.3 update, the version text on the bottom right was absent.
 * Prior to the V0.1.4 update, there was no text prompt when there was no name on the clipboard.
 * In V0.3.3, a new save system was implemented along with changes to saves and other internal stuff.

Glitches

 * In V0.3.3, completing the Hide-and-Seek mode did not unlock the custom seed input, unless completed in other versions.
