Naming Puro? (Patreon)

For the last several months, I have been contemplating letting the player name the player character to whatever they wish. As the story has since been expanded and Puro's personality is more determined by the player than before, I have been giving this more thought than before, and am curious to know what most of you, my supporters, think! SO! Here's a poll okay. Let me know!! Keep in mind that "Puro" is still a placeholder name for the game itself and may not be final.

I/the team will have the final say over whether or not this is implemented, but the results of this poll will be weighed heavily.

Edit: After learning of the reasoning of some votes, I feel it is worth clarifying that Puro has little to no backstory to explore in the game's story, and all of her lines are dialogue options selected by the player. Sorry for the confusion!

I feel that if the player gets the ability to choose the name and gender, then it kind of muddles the impact of the story. Think games of old.. They didn't have the kind of customization because of technical limitations. Now, everyone and their mother's dog's house plant that makes a game has character customization. Is it TRULY necessary? No. It's a matter of time, resources, know-how, and when it comes down to it, does it matter to the message you're trying to create.

I vote for keeping Puro named Puro, but giving the player the option to name someone/something else.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. Puro herself doesn't really have a backstory to explore, and all of her lines are dialogue options selected by the player. As a player surrogate of sorts, I feel giving players the option to set a name for her would actually ENHANCE that for some people. "Puro" would still be filled in by default when the prompt is given not unlike early JRPGs, of course. (Option 2 just requires a simple text replacement script that is already implemented for other reasons, also)

Aaahhh! Well in that case, freakin go for the ability of the player to choose if there's no backstory for Puro. :) Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I like the idea of getting to name Puro in a way similar to naming Link, where the protagonist will have whatever name you give them but it otherwise not having an impact on the game otherwise. Though setting the gender arbitrarily is also a good feature....

I would keep the default, but I am voting for letting players change it to whatever, because I know many others would want to make a custom name and all that. Plus, if I were to play the game again, I could always use a joke name.
