Multiple chapters of a story in one database or not
Multiple chapters of a story in one database or not
Hi, I'm working on this project where I have multiple chapters that form one story. I want to know whether I should use individual database for each chapter or use one database for all the chapters. Also I'd like to know how to load a particular story if there are multiple stories in one database. Please guide me on this.
Re: Multiple chapters of a story in one database or not
It's much simpler to use a single database.
However, if you expect the database to be very large, you can proactively set things up to support multiple databases. Please see: Working With Multiple Databases for the list of considerations and steps. The Dialogue System can handle individual very large databases, but if you write your content in the built-in Dialogue Editor window it can get a bit sluggish with enormous databases due to Unity's serialization speed.
