Has anyone wanted to make a game that is very, very hard? Have you ever wanted to disable the GO BACK option? I wanted to make a VERY hard game that you can't go back in. However, if you get a paper and pencil, you can write which links you need. Would this be possible?

P.S. If the idea is good, can it be placed on the STORY OPTIONS tab? (Where the "Allow User Saves" and "Allow Sneak Prieview"[whatever that page is called]) It seems to have a convienient placement right there. If you don't like it I'll just go .

Does that make sense or should I rephrase it?

A lot of people will use this option, and before you know it, Going Back WILL be disable.

So is it a good idea or not?

Well...I have to say...it is between a good and bad idea..

I see, but my story needs this so bad.

lol, I see!

Well, if you lose, you could just go back and undo the LOSSES variable by 1. But if you can't go back, it will be more challenging. And if it's more challenging it will get a better rating, at least from my perspective. It could even be featured. But when you reach a checkpoint, you can restart there. At least it won't be "Lose and restart the whole thing" if you were on the last page. Does that make any sense to anyone at all?

Requested countless times before.  I would hate this as I don't want to play the same pages a million times if I die.  I could save on every page, but that'd take longer.  The Back button was made as a way to get out of having to reset the game (or if you press the wrong link).

No this is lame.  We have the go back for a reason.

Agreement.  We should not and never should make it possible to disable the Go Back button.  All this will do, is make games 120% harder.  It would also make stories 80% harder.  Don't forget though, there's an argument over people rating unfairly because they don't make it to the end.  Well, what you are doing, is encouraging things like that.

The only benifit, is that hopefully, people will make stories longer before adding there first end game page.

I will add one more reason why we should keep the go back button.  It is that some people enjoy death scenes, and will purposly kill themselves to read them out.  It's part of there enjoyment.

So, I vote NO on idea "Disable Go Back Button"
