There's an easier way to deal with that: just don't name the saves. Simple! Nothing to turn off!
Can't speak for them but my problem with name save features more than the having to name the saves is what happens with them around. Some prevent deleting files for some stupid reason this are just the worst, this is beyond mildly annoying. For most of the ones that don't prevent deleting since I don't actually care for the feature I just end up having to do extra clicks every time I want to make a new save.

I have seen save file naming applied in a way that isn't obstructing though, in the save page the game ask for a file name but you can just no input anything if you don't want to and it doesn't prevent deleting files either. I would highly recommend making it a preferences option or doing it this way, less annoying that way.

My issue with said feature in other games is overwriting a save is annoying cause I hate having to rename shit especially if I play alot of solo paths at once. Since when I do that ill play for awhile save go to a different path and play catch up. Which is why 9 times out of 10 I use the Page system to name my saves and ignore naming my saves.

Deleting is easy: go into the "saves" folder under /game/, then go into the Ren'Py backup, find the game, and delete the desired save in both the general folder and the /sync/ folder.

This is an issue that exists whether save naming is on or not, at least in several of the VNs I've played lately. Very few VNs without savenames have a "click and delete" function on them that I've seen - most have to be done by going into all three folders.

I think the issue you may be seeing is that there are two different functions at play and some enable one, but not the other, while some enable both.

I honestly don't understand why anyone WOULDN'T have a naming function - it is much easier than making separate notes and having to toggle out to check them (unless you're writing them by hand). The one truly annoying thing is what I think Dessolos is encountering, in that some Dev's can't properly set up the naming such that whatever slot you've loaded is the default name presented when you save, versus the first named saved made on the page. For example, if I name slot 1-1 "Main Run", then slot 1-2 for a variant to that run, whenever I load slot 1-2 and advance that version, when I go to save, it will revert to the slot 1-1 name, not the slot 1-2 name. This is an area where a lot of Devs seem to need to do some homework.

Naming a save, like naming a document, graphic or spreadsheet file should be about the most basic function available within a software package, so I'm uncertain why it is found to be so difficult for so many Devs.

Give option to turning off name save feature if you decide to adding it.

Oh, such nice examples of "nothing you do is ever good enough for me" attitude.

Hello, I would like to use the patch, but I have no idea where it belongs. Can someone please tell me. I play on my cell phone with Android.

Thank you very much

Hey, do any of the Extras for this game allow us to rename the characters?
Don't know. But, if you can't find an easier way, you can do it through URM mod. Follow the installation instructions -> load a save -> Alt + M -> renaming tab -> find the little person & pencil in corner that says 'rename a character' when you mouseover -> find the character -> input the replacement name you want. Make sure to save your game afterwards of course :) Good luck!

Well, it worked...until other characters started interacting with her, and started calling her by her name and then her full name.

Back to the drawing board...but thank you.

I play with joiplay, when we trying to save when there's name save feature keyboard will pop up and sometimes we can even see save slot. Which mean we can't even do save properly. That the reason I ask for option to turning off the feature. Stop being so negative people, I'm not harassing dev for adding those feature.

I don't know shit about joiplay, but can't you just hit enter and it will save without namin? This is a legit question as I don't know.

You can't, the keyboard will keep popping out. Only work when you play the game like enter name or age or something but for some reason even enter can't hide keyboard if there's name save feature.
Damn. That fuckin sucks. Hopefully they can fix it soon for you guys.

Well, there's your problem: you're using an inferior platform for the VN. Devs usually won't make wholesale changes for the less than 15% that use Mac and Android.

Is there still no sound in this? I found a post way earlier in the thread saying not yet but that was like a year ago.

PSA to devs: Sound is really important. At least put music and a few basic sound effects in, from the start. It's fucking eerie playing in total silence lmao.

Sound is NOT important. Maybe to a few people.

There is a key that allows you to delete saves in-game, in my keyboard it is called "supr" but my keyoard is in Spanish, I'm not sure but I believe it's called "del" in English.

I quite literally gave an example that has been "good enough" it is a feature that I generally don't use, but its presence itself is not annoying, it's only annoying when it makes stuff more difficult then if it wasn't there.
