i think we could use the chapters more effectively. right now, all we do is create chapters in the editor. the player has no idea what chapter they are in. this isnt cool at all. i want to see the chapter names shown in the game. that way people can tell what chapter they are in. and it would add more of a book feel to the game. otherwise, why have an option to name the chapters?

haha, that would be murder for JJJ! What there needs to be is an Option box to select if you want the chapter name shown, that way, JJJ's game will be saved lol.

omg yeah my new starwars game, LOL that would fuck EVERYTHING up.  You would know EXACTLY what you'd be doing. And you'd know your score bonuses and holy shit man.

This is  a nice middle-ground. Chapters were always indended to be a way for Authors to organize his storygame.

I just name at the top on my stories, chapter 1 and so fourth if I have chapters in my game, that's an easy way to do it.

I'm actually against this idea. Chapters are for organizational purposes, we have names for them so that you can remember which chapter contains which parts of the story. If you want the players to be able to see them, you can always do the following: When the player arrives in a new chapter, put a large heading at the top of the page with the title of the chapter.

That's actually more faithful to books, since most novels don't have anything but the page number in the top corner.

Feel the same way. I see chapters solely as a way to organize my pages in a story and nothing more.
