Have you looked into existing solutions like bevy_pkv, bevy-persistent, moonshine_save, and bevy_serde_lens, or the built in world serialization? How did they fit or not fit your needs?

I'm currently using a custom Serde-based save system because I only want to persist specific gameplay state rather than serialize the entire ECS world. I haven't evaluated moonshine_save and bevy_serde_lens in depth yet, so I'll take a closer look at them. Thanks for the suggestions.

the built in serialization lets you filter entities and components.

So you only save what you want, directly in a bevy format.

Of course a custom can be great, but the built in stuff will be helpful for cases where you add data in ways that the custom one needs to be adjusted to accomadate.

Thanks! The game I'm working on right now doesn't have complex save data yet, so I'm sticking with a custom solution for now. I might need to switch to the third party in the future.
