Suggestion: Generic GameState that saves into JSON (or similar)

I think adding this could really help avoid devs (specifically, me) from getting into a bad practice of saving game state data in the config file instead, just because it is available.

I have a working system from my last game jam that saves state into a Resource object, and then saves with ResourceSaver. It was simple and worked great for the jam, and may be better than trying to use JSON. There is a vulnerability that the resource files can hold executable code, but I'm not sure how that is a concern here.

I began porting it over, but stalled when trying to generalize it for the template. I'll try again in the near future.
