Casual collecting game question.

Hi,

I’m creating a casual collection game where players will find items and store them in a room where they can look at them etc.

I’m trying to decide the best way and place to store all the items.
I’m considering using a list of the item class.

My question is where would the best place to store the items the player has collected?

Currently I’m using another list of items on the player class that just gets updated whenever they discover a new one.

Is there a better way?

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Does the player have to move to the special “look at” room with their items to drop them off or something?

Nope, there’s no need to drop off items, they’ll simply be discovered and unlocked.
