I came back to this after a while and was wondering if there was a shortcut for character names? Using the original renpy format of defining a character then using their shortcut doesn't work with the text formatting. If some characters have a fairly long name it gets really tedious to always write them out in caps at the beginning of a sentence, same with the different feelings. E.g. I would want to be able to define ELECTROCHEMISTRY as EC then just use EC "- blabla"

Have you dealt with that issue before? And if so what was your workflow like?

Because the framework is designed for users new to programming, the character's names are written within the dialogue. While it is still possible to use Ren'Py's built-in definitions, extra steps would need to be taken to reformat the nametags so that they are placed correctly, as well as changing the indentation of the dialogue text. While I don't have the script that would make these needed changes, more information on indentation and nametags can be found in Ren'Py's documentation.
