    Allow the story owner to determinate the maximum Save Game Depth as story option.

    With a lower Save Game Depth, decisions would have more weight, as the reader can't go back to undo the decision they liked most at the first. That way, authors could offer some kind of reward for good, but unpopular decisions.

    I have to admit, that i have absolutely no clue at all what this "Save game depth" is.

    Perhaps you could elaborate?

    The number of steps a reader could go back in game mode.

    (Currently, only changed Score is saved together with the chapter id. This leads to problems when using loops and going back because some variables get restored to the wrong value. The fix for that issue stores a complete Set of Score Variables for the last (10) chapters and prevent wrong values.)
