I'll check out the settings. However, I'm not sure how others do it, but I have names like this:
View attachment 4783206
I save to the same slot I load from so that every time I load that save, it has the major parameters I've chosen as the "split" points for making that save and moving forward.

I'm not doing it in this VN, but if I were to do something like take every major iteration and save it at the end of a release, then pick up and make a new save as of the new release, what went into the new slot would get a new name, or at least a chapter/episode/release tag, but the underlying "major decisions" of the save wouldn't change, so having a name that stays the same makes the most sense, at least the way I play, and the way I suspect most people play.

Having to type in a save name every time, especially if you have multiple paths due to all of the potential branches involved in a VN with this much going on, gets cumbersome.

I screenshot my most complex page - pages 1-3 each have four saves, leaving room for expansion, with a pregnancy/no pregnancy iteration of each of two primary path variations on the page.

Maybe others really aren't tracking this way and just throw a save where they feel like it and they just know they're all a little different and what they get, they get. But, I have a more organized mind than that. Maybe I'm the outlier. Who knows. :LOL:

EDIT: Elhemeer - you posted as I was typing. Basically, once I save to a slot, I keep saving the same version to the same slot every time. There's no need to change the name once I've saved to the slot because that save is built upon the major branching decisions (at least decisions I thought could be major) at the point I created a separate save for a variance to/branch from a previous path. Retyping it every time just takes extra time, and the way the text boxes work, editing is a nuisance.
... and since I never save over saves unless I'm getting rid of them for some reason (My current save page is in triple digits), I didn't realize that saving over a slot doesn't keep the previous name ...

Wait you guys have mulitple saves?

On a serious note i usually only have one save unless, i want to see both sides of a branching path.

I have either 5 or 9 pages of saves, Every choices gets saved only for minor reasons.
Sometimes saves break so i gotta make sure and i dont know if i will like the choice i made later down the road/

I usually have one main save, then another one with another playthrough to test some changes/things, and then just for the case I use 2-3 backup spot because sometimes saves break and I'm unable to continue.

It didn't happen often, but I remember it was happening back in the days 2-3 times back-to-back with 2 games, so better safe than sorry. :ROFLMAO:

Fuck! Most of us played the last leak. What are we actually now? ;)
Watersports fans?? :D

But now let's get back to more long posts lamenting that the UI's in the different chapters weren't all identical or exactly what each of us individually wanted. :rolleyes: Jebus, it would have been faster to just try the different toggles to see what they do - or even restart the damn game from scratch - than writing/reading all the apples-to-oranges comparisons between the controls of complex machines that hold the life-and-death of hundreds of passengers in their hands...to the handful of settings switches in an AVN. Jeepers. And implied judgements about the intelligence of others - like insinuating anyone in diagreement is dumb -
it's only seen as odd by those that have poor organization and for some reason live to be chaotic
...that's MY thing, dammit. :LOL:
