So, with the 'save' action for system, it works fine.. until I shut down my chromebook. If I shut down it loses the save. I know games made on construct 3 that stay saved even if I shut down my computer, so I know it's possible. How do I keep the save even through shutting down my computer?

Save system only saves state temporary in browser cache. Local storage is mandatory to be able to save the progress or any changes.

Localstorage example

AFAIK shutting down a chromebook shouldn't clear it's cache, unless you were using incognito.

But a user could manually clear the cache and lose the save anyway, so it's always best to use localstorage.

Edit: Manual says system save doesn't use the cache at all in the first place, so I dunno.
