Hmm…Maybe it won’t fit in with this sort of story…Eh, I can save it for another genre. I’m currently working on a superhero thing, so, I don’t think it’ll work there. But hey, if I make a magic story, I’ll do it. Thanks for the advice!
Mine’s a superhero story too. It’s all in how you tell your tale.
The save system that exists currently (import book 1 into book 2) is added by CoG when the second game is at least fully written.
As for New Game Plus my game UnNatural did it using a variable and code system. Where completing the game or in certain scenes resulting in the player giving a code which can be input at the start using *input_text and results in stat boosts and other things.
*label gamestart
*temp codes 3
*choice
#New Game.
UnNatural was written in the style, and theme of a TV series. Because of this there is an ad in the middle of each episode. These ads are parodies of actual Hosted Games. If you wish you can choose to turn them off - but they're a lot of fun, so why not give them a try? It'll definitely be worth your while.
*fake_choice
#I'll watch the ads!
*set watch_ads true
#I don't want to see the ads.
*goto_scene episode01
#New Game Plus.
*label new_game_menu
New Game Plus is a special mode for repeat players. You can unlock special scenes, and choices by entering a code found during your previous plays. You can also earn stat bonuses as certain stat increases.

Oops! You entered an incorrect code.
*goto new_game_menu
that’s the code i used in my game (minus the actual code). But as you can see as each one does stats things but also activates ngp which unlocks additional scenes and new choices.
