Starting a new game in Tunic? This guide walks you through character naming, save transfer considerations, and the initial steps to begin your adventure.
Alright, so you're ready to dive into Tunic! The very first thing you'll do is pick a name for your hero. While many folks end up calling him 'Tir' based on other games, you can really name him whatever you want. For this guide, I'll just refer to him as 'you' or 'your character' to keep things simple.
Now, here's a little something to keep in mind if you're thinking about transferring your save data to a potential sequel. Depending on the version of the game you're playing, the name you choose might get a bit glitched during the transfer. For example, in some versions, if you named your character 'Hero,' he might show up as 'HcDohl' in the next game. To try and avoid this, you might want to pick a name that starts with the letter 'M.' Also, remember you're limited to 8 characters, so some longer names just won't fit.
If you're playing a different version of the game, this glitch might already be fixed, so you might not need to worry about it at all.
Oh, and if you ever want to change your mind and pick a different name, just press the O button to reset your selection.
