I want to do a visual novel style storygame, but I don't know if there's a way to have the player make their own name for the characters to say. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You can let a player choose their own name, it's just more trouble than it's worth (unless someone has come up with a better way to do it).

You'd need to have the player pick it letter by letter, each letter would be a variable, and you'd have to paste the variables every time someone says the player's name.

Really more trouble than it's worth.

There happens to be an article about exactly that.

Recent request for the same thing. My answer is still the same.
