Last time a dev (Pinkcake if i remember right?) did that, it messed with old saves big time... i have now 6 saves and 6 blank saves per pages. No thanks!!:cautious:
*noddities*

It's been key to me that anything I add or faff with never fucks up an old save. I have a whole batch of saves that I try out with every release just to make sure. Hence why I know that the named save code occasionally can screw things up.

It comes down to that I might not know what I'm doing - but I know what I don't want you to experience :)

Well, When Runey did it, the only thing it did was make the thumbnail the wrong size (just load and resave to fix), and made pages with 6 saves and 94 empty slots. It broke nothing.

Come to think of it, unless I'm misunderstanding (my first thought was that it really messes saves up), wouldn't that actually be desirable with page renaming though? I mean, if I have a Huity's bastard page, what I want is more blank slots so that I don't need to have 10 Huity's pages.:unsure:

Exactly, 100 saves per page is awesome. But I am a save hoarder. :ROFLMAO:
Well, I'd still like to see what's in the thumbnails (and I don't save that much).:D

Looking at Philly's CoBD, it has 12 slots which I think is a good balance. But it's not possible to rename pages, so Heavy Five is actually more advanced in that area! :)

He took out the ability to rename pages? Odd, that's a default feature.

Yeah, i was not very clear... old saves are ok but 6 new blank saves per pages... a mess to rearrange them.o_O
But my point with choices and pics still stands.;)

Well, you don't have to do anything with those pages you have used if you don't want to, but there is a limited number of pages, so I will take as many slots as I can get per page. Especially in games like this where I need more than one play through, I make a new save at every choice.

I see, I can understand that in the system where you don't utilize named page. If you do (and the tutorial will suggest that), however, I think it would be very beneficial. If you have 30+ pages (like I do, and not all of them are full) it sometimes takes time to get to the page you desire. :)

It's a compromise of course. Some will prefer named saves, some won't. But at least this way it works, doesn't bugger anything up (which is very important!) and yet still helps the player have some order at least.
