Hello, I have a quick question.

Regarding the "only one sprite". Is the rule only one sprite in the project altogether, or just per game?

Let me explain. I'd like it if I could make the character choose a gender orientation for a short romance linear VN. Since I can only submit 1 project to the game jam, creating two different VNs for different orientations would be impossible.

So, would it be possible to have 2 character sprites in the data, but only 1 used at any time during the game?

Thanks for your time!

Hello David! I really like the idea of being able to choose the gender of the Love Interest! However, the rules would not allow you to have 2 different sprites.

So what I would suggest you do is to draw an androgynous Love Interest and allow the player to:

Choose their pronouns
Choose the Love Interest’s pronouns

This way you could even accommodate for many genders: man, woman, non-binary, etc…

If you are using Ren’Py I’d thoroughly recommend npckc’s Pronoun Tool.

Alright. Worth a try, but thanks for the tip!
