Possible to change name?

[hollycenations]

Is there a way to change your character's name? I didn't realize I'd be playing as a dude, and so it's a little jarring to see my real name, instead of a boy name.

If you delete "firstrun" file in the DDLC -> Game directory, you'll be able to clear save data and start fresh.

If you start over completely, you can. Check the game manual for instructions on how to do that. You'll have to delete a file manually.

Thank-you! Deleting the firstrun file worked. And then my clickin' finger got a workout catching back up to where I was, hah.

Did you not figure out that if you go in the options menu and click so there's a little X next to "Skip unseen text" or something like that, it'll let you skip as much text as you want no matter what? o.o

Although you need to be careful with it because it'll skip everything until you click to cancel it. That means you'll miss poems and stuff, because that won't appear in History. :3

You can also hold control to skip text; when you think you're a few scenes away, you can let go and resume manual clicking :)

thx Eluniar

I did it a bit longer way - due to being very far in the game.
What I did was to move my save (the actual saves are hidden in %appdata%\RenPy\DDLC-1454445547 and they are deleted after you shutdown the game, except for the one called "persistent" which seems to store everything you've gone through).
Then I've deleted the "firstrun", then launch the game. Then place the save back, and just load the save.

And without having to skip through, I changed my ingame name.

can you give me a step-by-step how to do it? I've tried what you said, but doesn't seem to work :/

Save the game -> don't quit the game yet -> go to %appdata%\RenPy\DDLC-1454445547 -> move the save file(s) to desktop (or anywhere with easy access) -> delete the save files in the appdata folder -> restart the game -> new game -> type in new name -> quit straight after confirming your name -> move the save files back
If something didn't work then try with only "Persistent" or only a single separate save file -- one of the two might hold the old name.

I meant delete the Persistent file, which isn't deleted by the game, since it is necessary for the game to keep all variables, such as player's name. But it mostly goes by unnoticed because it isn't used to load any game state.
