You are very kind. Actually I should not take all the credit. The renpy forums have so much good stuff that all just works plug and play, you basically just have to duct tape the things.
I used https://github.com/renpy/dse and https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19245 tying them both together with loose duct tape (rather poorly coded duct tape too as can be seen from the source code. Nobody should code like this on a real non-jam project imo). That's one of the nice thigs about the renpy community. There is a lot of really cool things just offered for free use.
In addition the renpy discord was very helpful and answered whenever I had a question which sped things up enormously.
