yes, there is no ready-made solution yet,
it is not ideal, but when you distribute your game the file will be relative to the player.

We will work on a better solution for the future.

How to save user data (e.g. progress/option)?

I cann't find lua-function to work with player data. Are they exists?
Surely this data may be stored as lua-script

// pseudo-code

function SaveData()
    file = io.open("player_data.lua", "w+")
    file:write("player_data_vars={}")
    for key,value in pairs(player_data_vars) do
        file:write("player_data_vars[<>]=<>")
    end
    file:flush()
    file:close() 
end

function LoadData()
    dofile("player_data_vars.lua")
end

But this code create stand-alone lua-file with platform-depends place (in Windows7 used exe-same folder).
Perhaps, I wrong and place not depended.
