Not a bug [Indev 0.51.1] Cannot Save Game

[arcarsenal]

Describe the bug you experienced here.

What I expected to happen:
Open the menu, try to save the game, and successfully save the game.

What actually happened:
When I tried to save the game, it never came to the "Saved the game" conclusion. It just kept reading "Saving, please wait". I tried moving to different areas to see if it was the area I was saving in that was the problem, but it continued no matter where I was. There was no crash. Also I tried saving at least 7 different times to no avail.
I quit the game and opened it back up and I was at the last successful save point. I lost some game progress but now the save seems to be working fine. I don't want this to keep happening though. The only real proof I have that this happened is that I have a badge on Gamejolt for a gym that I completed (Ecruteak) but I haven't completed it in game because the progress was lost.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to save the game
2. Endless saving

How long did you let it attempt to save before you cancelled it?

 

[arcarsenal]

About 15-20 minutes.

GameJolt probably closed your session.
There's no way to tell this through the current GameJolt API though, so is not fixable right now.
I already forwarded this to the API programmer at GameJolt who is going to put this in the API eventually...

Alright, I have a question. How could I get an achievement for doing something in game and then lose my progress and still have the achievement if the save is through Gamejolt? Couldn't autosave play in there? I understand the game is still in development and autosave isn't a priority because you can easily save manually, but this just boggles me.

The Achievements aren't saved with your "Pokémon save state".
Once you get the achievement (called "Trophy" on GameJolt), they are saved to your GameJolt profile.
The ingame save option doesn't have anything to do with that.
