Increase maximum number of persisted variables
More persisted variables will make it much easier to create complex games like RPGs.

More would be good, for sure. Have you looked into how you can store multiple numbers in one variable? It really helps in terms of how much you can store.
-
@TAPgiles yes I have. However it would be best if the extra variables are built inside the engine as it reduces complexity and time for setup/use.

It's on the Trello roadmap!

Alex once mentioned that he believed this was simply an arbitrary limit and increasing it might be trivial. As it is on the roadmap they either found it wasn’t trivial or it’s just not a priority.

The problem with adding more variables is not really a technical one, it's just that you have one Dreams save file on your PlayStation's hard drive; for PS4 games this is limited to 1GB (I have no idea whether a dedicated PS5 version would allow larger saves). The larger each dream's save becomes, the fewer dreams saves you can store. There is a balance to be managed between size of save and number of Dreams you can have saved progress for.
