The United Worlds (VN) - What your name ?
Added 2024-12-02 00:54:34 +0000 UTCThe plans for The United Worlds Visual Novel are still in the works, and I am still refining some aspects of the game.
I originally considered letting players choose their own name to personalize their experience. However, this could complicate development, especially for side stories that would refer to the main character's past and identity.
That's why I would like to get your feedback on this point:
Would you prefer to be able to choose your own name for a more personalized experience?
Or would you prefer to play as a predefined character with their own name, which would make it easier to integrate this protagonist into other stories related to The United Worlds?
Your feedback will help me make a choice that meets your expectations while ensuring better coherence for the story.

When we read a novel, we put ourselves in the shoes of the main character, and the narrator can very well sometimes use the "you" (for example: You see your friend waving at you) the reader is thus just as involved in the story as if he had chosen the name himself. Nevertheless, it was suggested to me on Discord to define a default name (the input box will thus be pre-filled) while allowing the player to change the name at his convenience.

I think the question you need to ask yourself is "Do I want the reader to be more or less emotionally involved?"
