Ren'Py How do I change my character name in the middle of my game save?

Yes, as it says in the title, I want to change my character's name, but there is no such option in the game.
The game I'm playing is Time For You, by the way.

EDIT: Just a heads up, reading variable name can often spoil the story so be careful before you do this.


Open the game and load up your save file. Press Shift + D to bring up the dev console and select Variable Viewer from the list. You'll have to scroll through the list and find the variable that stores your player name. Once you've found it, press Shift + O to bring up the console and type in

variableName = "Whatever name you want in between these quotes"

For example in Sensei Overnight the player's name is stored in a variable called 'player_name' so to change it I would type in:

player_name = "Janu"

Hmm, maybe devs can turn that off somehow. Lemme grab a copy of the game and I'll see if I can find the variable name.

Good news: I found the variable, it's called user_name.

Bad news: the console is also locked down so you can't edit anything easily. You can still use the

Just put the attached file (right click save as) into the game folder. Then the console is active. Should work for most games, even if the dev tries to block the console.
