If a game allows the player to save their progress, these saves are 
typically placed in one of the following locations:

    Windows XP                
    ----------    
    C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\LOVE\
    %appdata%\LOVE\
    
    Windows Vista and newer
    -----------------------
    C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\LOVE\
    %appdata%\LOVE\
    
    macOS
    -----
    Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/LOVE/
    
    GNU/Linux
    ---------
    /home/{username}/.local/share/love/
    $XDG_DATA_HOME/love/
    
    Android
    -------
    /data/data/org.love2d.android/files/save/
    /sdcard/Android/data/org.love2d.android/files/save/


This is because of the "love.filesystem" function, which usually looks
in one of three places:

    1. The root folder of the *.love archive
    2. The root folder of the game's save directory.
    3. The folder containing the game's .love archive (or source 
       directory), but only if specific conditions are met.
       

For creating a game with a simple save/load feature, you may want to
take a look at the SaveData library at 
https://github.com/BroccoliRaab/SaveData

Example

    local saveData = require("saveData")
    function love.load()
        t = {}
        t.settings = {graphics = "good"}
        t.settings.window = {x = 10, y = 20}
        t.save = {}
        t.save.scene = "boss"

        saveData.save(t, "test")

        local t2 = saveData.load("test")
        print(t2.settings.graphics)
        print(t2.settings.window.x, t2.settings.window.y)
        print(t2.save.scene)
    end

OUTPUT (in a terminal since no love.draw is used):

    good
    10  20
    boss
