Consolidated "Saves in Choice of Games and Hosted Games" Thread

Why do we still have no save function on games that released. I have more fun on the WIPs cause you can save the games there. Isn’t this a super easy thing to put into the games?

The short answer is - unfortunately no, it isn’t.

It is pretty easy to put checkpoints in these days, though, so we’ll probably be seeing more authors doing this as time goes on.

Main problem with these released games is that I think the authors themselves have to go back and add them, and for a lot of the older stuff, I don’t even know if they’re around anymore

Why can we not store and upload saves between games locally?

I know that the CoG devs have a strong opinion of going back to previous choices because of how it can make the choices feel meaningless.

I’m not talking about that.

I would like the ability to go back at least one page in order to reread it. For example, if I stop reading the book for a bit and forgot the context of what’s going on in the current page. Or, more likely, if I accidently push the next page button before I finish reading.

I’m sure you could hardcode it so that you can’t change your choices.
