Ideas

Stuff I'm currently thinking about:

• How to handle "friendship"
  • I can use variables and/or control switches. Variables are more manageable, but control switches might give me more freedom to develop mixed feelings/complicated relationships between characters/Player
    • ex.
      • variables = like/dislike
      • control switch = relationship (friends, frenemies, etc.)
  • I might have to stick with just variables first, and then add on control switches later
• How to manipulate collisions
  • I need to research :(
• Battle system
  • Different when it's a friend/dating sim vs action RPG?
    • How to implement????? Do I need to learn JavaScript for this? :'0
• Research random encounters and how to add them in
• Figure out how to manipulate the generator (if it's even something I can do that is)
