SaveSlot

namespace Griff.Scenes;

public sealed class SaveSlot : Component, IDrawable

Shows a saved game’s slot, for a save or load screen: the game’s screenshot, when it was saved, and the line being said then (or “Empty”). Put it on a Button whose Action is Save Game (to save in this slot), Load Game or Delete Save: a button set to one of those with no Slot of its own, on this entity or inside it, uses this one’s. Entity → Genres → Visual Novels → Reading Menus makes save and load screens of them.

This is a component: its saved properties are on its component page.
