This thing of forcing the same name for all male coprotagonists is really dumb...
(...)
I get that of course if Megan is naming John talking to John she means another John, but which one if there are like FIVE guys named John?
I (the writer) agree, and I tried telling them about this via DMs, but all I got was the :man_shrugging: emoji.
My intention with adding the suffix was never to replace the ability of choosing different names, it was just supposed to be an extra feature, in case people forgot the names they have set in the past...
Not to mention that the intro makes absolutely no sense right now, as Carol asks you for 5 names, but the game asks for 1.
When
v0.1.2 came out, I requested players to say what they think about the change (the ability of naming the MCs differently being removed).
A few people said it was fine, or they didn't really care, some were already using the same name anyways.
No one seemed to be against it (except here on F95), and that's where the conversation ended.
To them, literally NO ONE has ever complained about all MCs having the same name.
As far as they know, it's not a problem.
If you want the "previous way" back, I encourage you to voice your concern in official plazas, as they don't read this forum.
Or, just mod the "naming section" from v0.1.1 back into the new versions... (and remove the in-dialogue suffixes)
[I tried doing it myself, but I have no idea what I'm doing, so I just got 4 errors when trying to open the game xD]
Meanwhile, I'll look into that section you pointed out, see what I can do.
They recently told me I can add the suffix INTO the dialogues too, like Name (LT) or Name (SwM), etc.
I think it looks absolutely horrendous having the suffix in the middle of the lines, but oh well...
