You can't change MC's name at the moment and I don't think that this will be implemented because it is unnecessary.
Who are you to say it's unnecessary? Quite a lot of people would prefer their own name in place of somebody else's. Nearly every game allows people to type in their own name for a reason.

Getting saves from somebody else has limited value since you can't change names atm. And since this is hardly a Ren'py novel game you can fast forward through the dialogue on to quickly get back to where you are, but instead a very time intensive management game that takes hours to get back to where you are, this game especially needs a name change function put in.

I can tell you who he is, he is one of Faerin's staff that debated putting this option in the game with the dev.
As none of his Patrons had asked for this option, the dev himself thought it was unnecessary at this time.
To be honest, if someone deletes their saves from their computer that's on them and if they do get a save on here and have to play the game with someone else's name so be it, most just want full saves so they don't have to play the game and just look at the scenes.
Why should a function be put into a game because of someone's incompetence or even laziness because they don't want to play the game and just want to look at the porn scenes.
For those who have had genuine hardware failures I sympathise but if they like the game that much they can start again and put their own name in again

What kind of attitude is this? All other developers here seem to understand a simple name change is a quality of life inclusion that aids many people. Being aggressively antagonistic about such a simple thing is weird. It's weird and reflects poorly.

Is it because the way the game's software is constructed, a name change would be more of a hassle than other engines? Is that what the antagonism over a name change is HIDING, the difficulty in adding it in Mystwood Manor? Seems childish then.

It has nothing to do with attitude or difficulty. If Faerin wanted that option there, or if his patrons requested it, it would have been added. Simple as that. Keep in mind he's doing this for his paying customers, not for people who pirate the game. ;)

I'm sorry but who is being aggressively antagonistic here? Certainly, not the dev, and certainly myself or S3pHiroTh haven't. We have answered the question in the best way we could and I gave you the devs reasoning behind it. Also at the end of the sentence, it did say at this time. If his Patrons request it, it might be done.
The end of my post was my opinion and not the devs

I'm not a coder and honestly couldn't say can you is it just pressing a few keys and it's done? What I can say is that I know it is more work that in my opinion is unnecessary and would distract the dev from making more content for the game. That's another little quality of life thing that players like as well.
The game is a work in process and will be released to Steam like MoTH was, would you believe that on there there are not many people asking for a complete save for MoTH because they play the game and don't delete their saves the same will probably be true for MwM as well.
It's not being made for F95, it's here because the game is pirated and is on the forum and the dev knows he might as well roll with it rather than fight it.
He will tell you himself that the feedback he has got from here has been invaluable to him and the bug reports and a few Patrons as well but it is not being made solely for F95
As for being childish you should take a look in the mirror you want something to be implemented in a game that you get for free and because it isn't going to happen you accuse us of being aggressively antagonistic and childish while you're there stamping your feet like a petulant child.
I'm sure if you went to EA and told them you had a pirated game that you were playing and you wanted something in it they would do it right away

It's unnecessary because: it's a game and it's meant be played... I really don't understand people that are asking saves.
It's like buying any other videogame and ask on internet to have a complete save so you will fight only with the final boss... That's stupid imho.

If someone don't love the "grind" that has this game at the moment, he should not play it until there will be the story mode implemented.

For real games yes, but these hardly qualify as games. They’re 3D renders slapped in simple visual novel engines for the purpose of telling a pornographic story. These aren’t games with fun, creative, complex, interesting, and exciting mechanics that people play because the gameplay is enjoyable. They’re games with simple, basic, boring, and grindy mechanics that people play for the porn.

I’ve played many games here and I honestly can’t think of any game that’s benefited from the “gameplay”. All of them would be better if they just stick to the things people play these for, the porn and the story. Devs here don’t have the skill and/or resources to make fun gameplay. Comparing these boring and grindy mechanics in incest porn visual novels to other games is quite the stretch imho. It’s pretty understandable why people would want saves to skip these boring grinds when they’re just trying to tap to porn games.

If you think so, why you play the game? This isn't a VN that you just read and make some choises, you have a part as VN (the events) a part of the game(the management)...
If someone wants the first and not the second it's better that he waits for the story mode as I said earlier.

And if you wanna see some action really quick, isn't it easier to watch a porn instead of playing a game?

I will agree that hardly any gameplay from the games here can compete with AAA games. Notwithstanding that there are commercial non adult games with little gameplay themselves which are popular.

I however strongly disagree with the second part of your opinion. I actively want some gameplay. If I want no game at all, nothing to do, I go to the respective alternatives. There are tons of videos and kinetic novels. There's real porn. If I want to play an adult game, I want gameplay. Is it the best? No, but it is something to do, to work for my reward.

In the end nobody of us is right in what they prefer. However, you are actively asking devs to change stuff other people enjoy to stuff you enjoy. I am not going to some kinetic novel and ask for decisions - I find them boring and leave them be. If you do not want gameplay - just skip the ones that have it. And leave those be who want it.

Funny story: so does this game. You will get asked for the name you want to play under when you start a game. This feature is included, however ...

All other developers here seem to understand a simple name change is a quality of life inclusion that aids many people.
... I do not know of many games which allow you to change the name of the protagonist once the story is underway. I may be playing the wrong games and certainly may have forgotten about the option in games I play (because I choose my name and stick with it), but it certainly isn't "all other developers".

But yeah, in the end, a dev will do what they want. Of course they will listen to paying customers. So pick up your wallet, support the dev, and ask nicely. Antagonizing other people will not get you very far.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I VERY STRONGLY prefer the games that are actually a game, with something to do and something to accomplish vs hallway VNs. Honestly, the process of doing something and choosing where I go and what I do next helps me both enjoy it and remember it a whole lot better than if its just a straight story with a diagolgue choice here or there. And I'm extremely grateful that Faerin and others are making really good ones for those of us who enjoy it.

You'll be pleased to know that this game allows people to type in their own chosen name, too.
That's why when you get someone else's save, you also get their name.
They chose it, at the start.
Simple answer, really: If you want to choose your own name, use your own save.
It’s pretty understandable why people would want saves to skip these boring grinds when they’re just trying to tap to porn games.
If you believe that to be the case, well, using the same logic, you could also say that it's pretty understandable why a dev wouldn't want to code something into his game that meant players could avoid playing it.
Maybe he thinks that players who just want to skip through his story, to simply see the sex scenes, are intentionally missing the story he has spent time & effort trying to tell.
Maybe he finds that insulting, professionally? :unsure:
Pretty understandable, indeed, why a dev wouldn't want to spend additional time and effort, over the standard development, to create something extra which enables people to not play his game.
Would be kind of dumb, if he did, when you look at it like that.

Would you like to work for a month to produce something, then have to work an extra couple of days to provide a way for everyone to ignore 90% of what you've produced?
I certainly wouldn't.

There is one feature where you can change what the girls (with exception to Julia) can call you in their profile tabs.. I'm sure that's not what you wanted, but.. it is there..

I'm trying to play version 0.5.1, but AVG has quarantined the EXE file for "IDP.Generic" (whatever that is). AVG does allow me to restore the file, and ignore the "issue", but I'm not sure if that's actually a safe option.
HELP?!?!
