How to make saves named with the name of the chapter they belong to

#1 Post by Showakun »

Since sprites are repeatable, I have always wondered how people know to what part of the game their save belongs to. The default nameless system makes everything but immediate playthrough difficult (and for people with bad memory, it makes it difficult right away)
How to make saves named with the chapter they belong to together with the date and time?

There’s a save_name variable for this: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/save_loa ... -variables

Do

Code: Select all

$ save_name = "Your Chapter Name"
whenever you enter a new chapter.
